REPORT OF THE SEVENTH REUNION, 1902.
The Association of the descendants of John White met as a
basket picnic at Wachusett Park, Westminster, Mass., August
27, 1902. At an early hour the cousins of various degrees began
to assemble. Registering and social greetings were in order un-
til 11.15 a.m., when the President, John B. White of Kansas
City, Mo., called the Association to order in the pavilion, for the
business meeting. Vice President J. F. White of Somerville,
Mass., offered prayer. President White briefly addressed the
Association, thanking them for their confidence in him and the
honor that had been bestowed upon him even though circum-
stances had prevented his being present at the last annual re-
union And with an eloquence born of his own zeal in the cause,
urged that honest, faithful work be done to insure the perpetuity
of the Association.
The Secretary, Miss Myra L. White of Haverhill, Mass., read
the records of the last regular session and also the action of the
Executive Committee at its meeting in May, all of which was
approved as read. The Treasurer submitted as a report, the
statement that the contribution taken at the last session paid all
bills then received, but left the treasury bare of funds. That
later a bill for printing, etc. amounting to ... . was presented.
That there would also be a bill for the printing of the call for this

meeting. That the only source of revenue now is the member-
ship fee of one dollar ($1.00), which is wholly inadequate to meet
the expenses of the Association. That there is now a deficit of
. . . . and urged that some measures be devised at once to re-
lieve the strain, and suggested that annual dues from each mem-
ber of the Association, if it were only twenty-five cents would
greatly assist, and then added: "The White's ought to be able
to run the Association clear of debt." The President rem irked
that annual clues would cover every need. Mr. J. H. Leavitt of
Iowa moved that an annual due of twenty-five cents (25 cts.) be
levied upon each member of the Association. The motion was
duly seconded and remarks in support of the motion were made
by Miss Myra L. White of Haverhill, Mass., George A. White of
Franklin Park, Mass., Mr. Wilmot V. White of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Wm. Fred White of Ashburnham, Mass., Byron A. While of
Parkersburg, W. Va., Horace White of Richville, N. Y., and
others. The original motion was amended by W. V. White to
make the annual dues of gentlemen fifty cents (50 cts.) and ladies
twenty-five cents (25 cts.) Amendment accepted by Mr. Leavitt.
The Treasurer moved to amend, that the motion take effect im-
mediately upon its passage. Accepted by Mr Leavitt. Mr. Ho-
race White expressed the thought that members should not only
pay the annual dues, but should also interest themselves to add
new members to the Association. After much discussion the
question was called, (the President asking for a rising vote) and
was declared carried unanimously.
The next order of business was the election of officers. On
motion it was voted the chair appoint a committee of (\vc to bring
in a list of nominations for the several officers.
The chair appointed :
J. H. Leavitt, of Iowa.
W. V. White, of Ohio.
Myra L. White, of Massachusetts.
II. A. Knight, of Massachusetts.
Horace White, of New York.
The committee retired and during their absence the Treasurer
was exceedingly busy gathering in the annual dues.

Pres., John B. White, Kansas City, Mo.
1st Vice Pres., George S Houghton, Reading, Mass.

Sec'y., Miss Myra L. White, Haverhill, Mass.
The report was accepted and adopted by a unanimous vote.
In motion it was voted to meet next year at Lancaster. In
motion it was voted to adjourn and the President declared the
business meeting of the reunion of 1902 adjourned.
Those bringing baskets then gathered in groups at the conven-
ient tables scattered about the Park ; while those from a distance
enjoyed the bountiful dinner provided by Mr. A. L. Harrington
of the Summit House, Mt. Wachusett.
The afternoon was spent in examining the first and second
volumes of the family genealogy, making new and renewing old*
acquaintances. Many of those present improved the opportunity
to visit Redemption Rock on the opposite side of Lake Wachu-
sett, where in 1676, John White's daughter Mary, Mrs. Joseph
Rowlandson, was redeemed from the Indians by the General
Court of Boston, Mr. John Hoar of Concord being the ambassa-
dor. Some years since Senator George F. Hoar of Worcester,
purchased the rock and had the following inscription placed
upon it :
" Upon this rock, May 2nd, 1676, was made the agreement for
the ransom of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson of Lancaster between the
Indians and John Hoar of Concord. King Philip was with the
Indians, but refused his consent."

He has since presented it to his nephew John Hoar of Con-
cord, namesake of their first ancestor. Short but interesting
speeches were in order at the rock and pictures were taken by

over, N. H., subsequently moving to North Charlestown, N. H.,

pleasant man, always sociable and interesting in conversation.
Wherever he resided or had any business transactions he made

recovering from a severe attack of fever, which left him in very
poor health, he was sent to Dr. Thomas Jewett of Rindge, N.H.,
to be treated ; it was here while under the doctor's care that he
first conceived the idea of studying medicine. After a course of
treatment, which greatly benefited his health, he began the study
of medicine under the care of Dr. Jewett, with whom he remained
until he had acquired a thorough knowledge of the same, when he
returned to his native town and began practice which he followed
until his death.
Dr. Peirce was greatly respected by his fellow-citizens for his
sterling integrity and uprightness, though at times eccentric.

was engaged to a young lady who was spending a week
or two there. Mr. Emory left Boston on Saturday
evening and intended to return on Monday. Sunday
afternoon at 3 o'clock he went into the water and ven-
tured out so far, either his strength failed or the
undertow drew him in, possibly both. The beach at
the time was crowded with people, but few realized he
was drowning. He made no outcry but finally a
boat was shoved off with one man in it, who threw a
rope to the young man, which was washed away from
his grasp, and he sank never to rise again. His body
was recovered in forty minutes and the next day
arrived in Fitchburg, where it was interred. Just one
month to a day preceding his death he attended the
funeral of his nephew, Henry D. Yerxa, Jr. At the
time of his death he was employed by his brother-in-
law in the store of Cobb, Bates & Yerxa.

DEATHS.
Rev. Eldad Holmes Rowlandson8 (4854), Vol. I, p. 414, died at
his home in Brooklyn, N. Y., Aug. 15, 1900, aged 74 years. He
was a clergyman in the Methodist Church, but his health failing
in early life, he was unable to attend to the duties of a pastor,
but was ever a prominent worker in Faith Mission, with which
he had been identified for many years ; he retained his love for
that organization to the last in a marked manner. Mr. Rowland-
son was a worker and organizer in temperance circles, established
the first order of the Cadets of Temperance and also became
prominent in the Sons of Temperance and Good Templars.
He was teller in the First National Bank of Brooklyn for
twenty-six years and later bookkeeper of the Preston Fertilizer
Co. of Blissville, and although his life was a busy one, even when
sickness had impaired his strength ; yet he ever had an eye to
see, and a willing heart and hand to help those in need of his
assistance. He was eminently a pure and true Christian gentle-
man and only those who best knew and loved him could ade-
quately mourn his loss, for they alone could measure his worth.
Dr. Charles Kendall Adams8 (10003), Vol. II, p. 86, died July
29, 1902, at Redlands, Cal., where he had gone for his health.
Dr. Adams had been in poor health for several years. While
president of the University of Wisconsin he was granted a long-
leave of absence, going to Europe, where he seemed to recuper-
ate. A few months after returning to his work at the university
he resigned and went to California.
Professor Adams long held high rank as an educator. He was
born in Derby, Vt., Jan. 4, 1835, and received his preliminary ed-
ucation in the common schools and academy of Derby. In 1856,
28 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
he removed to Iowa with his parents and began the study of
Greek and Latin at Denmark Academy. The following year he
was admitted to the University of Michigan, and during his four
years of college life was almost exclusively dependent upon his
own efforts to secure the money for his education and support.
During the third and fourth years he was assistant librarian of
the university and in charge of one of the lower classes. In
1864, he was appointed instructor in Latin and history, and in
1885, became president of Cornell University. Under his man-
agement Cornell forged to the front among the great colleges of
America. In January, 1893, he accepted the presidency of the
University of Wisconsin. He was the author of "Democracy
and Monarchy in France," Manual of Historical Literature" and
other successful books, and received the degree of LL.D. from
the University of Chicago and from Harvard.
Mrs. Betsey Bertha (Lee-Brigham) White, third wife of Tarbel
H. White7 (7407), Vol. I, p. 630. She died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. W. E. Blanchard, in Lynn, Mass., Aug. 20, 1902.
Mrs. Wrhite was born in West Boylston, Mass., Dec. 15, 1822,
daughter of Benjamin and Eunice (Lesure) Lee. On March 30,
1842, she was married to Stephen B. Brigham of West Boylston,
who died June 6, 1856, and she married second, Nov. 10, 1861,
Tarbel H. White of West Boylston, who died Dec. 29, 1867.
She left two daughters by her first marriage, Mrs. Eunice Kitch-
ener of Oakland, Cal. and Mrs. W. E. Blanchard of Lynn.
Died in Bloomington, 111., May 14, 1902, Dr. John Lane
White7 (13637), p. 362, Vol. II. He graduated at the Harvard
Medical School in the class of 1854, and during the last year of
his professional studies he was house physician at the Massachu-
setts General hospital. In 1870, he took up his residence in
Bloomington, and has since resided there. He served two terms
in the lower house of the Illinois legislature, and was vice-presi-
dent of the Third National bank of Bloomington. He had been
Grand Commander of the Knights Templar of Illinois, and was
one of the most prominent Masons of the state For thirty
years he was surgeon for the Chicago & Alton and Illinois Central
railroads, and had occupied numerous other positions of respon-
sibility. A widow and two children survive him.

Henry Knox Baker7 (15458) Vol. II, p. 551. Judge Baker died
June 28, 1902 at his home in Hallowell, Me., aged ninety-five.
Judge Baker was born at Canaan, now Skowhegan, Dec. 2, 1806.
At fourteen he went to Hallowell, to learn the printer's trade.
Before Mr. Baker was twenty-one years old he had been for two
years employed as editor of the Hallowell Gazette. When he
came of age the Gazette was discontinued, and he became editor
of the American Advocate. At the same time he entered the
law office of John Otis as assistant.
He continued his connection with the Advocate for several
years. Later the Advocate and Free Press were united, retain-
ing the name of the latter paper, and he was associated with
R. D. Rice in the management. In the meantime he had been
prosecuting his law studies, and not finding the printing business
especially remunerative he sold his interest in the Free Press and
in 1840 was admitted to the bar.
In 1842 and 1844 Mr. Baker was elected to the legislature from
Hallowell. In 1844 he was placed on the judiciary committee
with A. P. Morrill and other able men. In 1844, when Mr.
Baker was reelected to the legislature, he was made chief com-
missioner of education in the house.
In 1855, Mr. Baker was appointed judge of probate by Gov.
A. P. Morrill. The same year the law was changed and the office
made elective. This office he held and faithfully administered
for twenty-five years, during which time he revised the whole
probate laws. He was especially noted for his liberality in the
matter of widows' allowances.
He was interested in every movement to benefit either the city
or the state. Hallowell was made a city in 1852, and he was a
member of the city government in some capacity during eighteen
years, after which he declined further service. He audited the
accounts for town and city twenty-seven years without pay.
In 1844, he became a member of the Methodist church in Hal-
lowell, where he was a class leader and teacher of a Bible class
for more than forty years. Though leading a very busy life he
found time for extensive reading and contributed much to the
press both in poetry and prose. In 1879, he made his first visit
to Europe, joining a Tourjee party for that purpose, and in 1883,
he made a second tour with his grandson, R. H. Rice, making a
more extended tour of Scotland, Ireland, England and Wales.
30 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
When about ninety-two years of age, he had the misfortune to
break his hip, which confined him to the house; but previous to
that time his figure was seen daily on the street and he attended
to his duties as treasurer of the Hallowell Savings Bank. In all
the varied duties of a busy life he was able, faithful and true,
caring more for the good of those around him than for the accum-
ulation of wealth and those only who knew him well could appre-
ciate his many virtues and will mourn the ending of a long and
useful life.
Mrs. Almira Frances (Rand) Leavitt8 (4301), Vol. I, p. 377, wife
of John F. Leavitt and daughter of Sherburne W. and Laura S.
[White7 (4231)] Rand of Exeter, N. H.; died at her home in
Portsmouth, N. H., August 2, 1902, aged nearly 64 years.
Though a frail child she was the only one of nine children who
lived beyond the age of twenty-one She tenderly cared for her
parents in their declining years ; and had lived to see four of her
six children grow to maturity, and had enjoyed for a brief time
her three grandchildren, the children of her only surviving son,
Frank S. Leavitt. All who knew her felt that she was a woman
of most estimable character, of broad mind and most ready sym-
pathies, a consistent Christian. While she seldom had strength
or time to do much outside of her family, to whom she was most
devoted, she was always intelligently interested in what was going
on in the world and especially in the work of the church, she
gave of her means and sympathy whenever possible. She united
with the Congregational Church in Exeter, when young, taking
a letter from there to the Methodist Church in Portsmouth
after her marriage, where she had been a member for thirty-
five years. She was also a member of the Ladies' Aid and
Foreign Mission Societies, of the Woman Relief Corp and of
the Auxiliary of Y. M. C. A. She was always strongly and loy-
ally attached to her relatives, no member of the White Family
was more interested in its reunions, although she was able to at-
tend but one of them, she with her daughter Martha attending
the reunion in Haverhill in 1900.
To her husband and children the memory of her high ideals,
her teachings and her example will always be an inspiration to
the best living.
" She being dead, yet speaketh."

Mrs. May Whitney (White) Gilman8 (4295), Vol. I, p. 377, wife
of Gardner S. Gilman, died in Lowell, Mass., September 25,
1902. She was born in Moultonborough, N. H., Dec. 16, 1849 ;
being the youngest child of Timothy F. and Irene (Hodsdon)
White7 (4229). Her marriage to Mr. Gilman took place in Ips-
wich, Mass., May 16, 1868. The most of their married life was
spent in Lowell, although for a short time they lived in Laconia
and Belmont, N. H., where they joined the Freewill Baptist
Church.
Mrs. Gilman had been an invalid for many years previous to
her death yet she bore bravely all her sufferings, having a care of
her home and taking a great interest in all her loved ones.
When her strength would not permit of other work, she did
beautiful needlework which she delighted to give away and which
will be treasured by those who loved her while here, and miss her
sadly now she is gone.

man of Lowell, and one daughter Gracie Irene, wife of Walter B,

Vernon, Vt., Mar. 14, 1902, aged 92 years; b. in Vernon, Newfane
Hill, Sept. 22, 1809. Mrs. Cushing was well born and had an in-
grained inheritance of thrift and energetic industry. She was a
woman who had a settled conviction for doing the right as she saw
it and was very modest, though possessing firmness and strength
of character. This is not intended as a eulogy, for at best we all
are imperfect, but as a just remembrance of one whose long and
active life was spent to help and cheer those around her; for she
was truly a remarkable woman in every sense of the word and re-
tained her mental faculties even in her advanced age, and seemed
so bright and interesting that people enjoyed meeting and talking
with her, as she remembered so much of the past. She often
had expressed a wish to be at rest and join those who had gone
before; she was a sincere Christian and was prepared for the
joys that await the redeemed in the other and brighter world.
She was very fond of flowers and the beauty of her garden
showed with what loving care they were tended and she was ever
ready to share them with a neighbor. Mrs. Cushing was the
second daughter of Capt. Chandler and Lucy (Kenney) Carter;
grand-daughter of Elias and Deborah (White) Carter; married
Sept. 23, 1829, Warren Cushing of Newfane, Vt., where their
married life was spent on a farm until the death of her husband
in 1872; at this time Mrs. Cushing moved to the village where
she had cared for herself in her own little home until a short

time before her death, when she went to Vernon to visit her son;
she contracted pneumonia and lived but a few days. Her three
children survive her, Mrs Joel Page of Groton, Mass., Warren
C. Cushing of Vernon and Baxter C. dishing of Newfanc; also
three grandchildren, Miss Ethel and Mr. Carl Cushing, children
of Warren and Edward Page of Clinton, Mass., besides her
youngest sister Mrs. Eudosia (Carter) Case of Lansing, Mich.,
now nearly eighty-five years of age. Mrs. Cushing was a mem-
ber of the Congregational church and Woman's Christian
Temperance Union and felt to the last a lively interest in the
affairs of the day.
Mrs. ELIZA M. (Tuthill), wife of Baxter C. Cushing8 (9498),
vol II., p. 63, d. at her home in Newfane, Vt., May 2, 1902.
She was born in Townsend, Vt., Nov. 21, 1847; she was educated
at Leland and Gray seminary and taught school several years
before her marriage, Aug. 30, 1876, being Mr. Cushing's second
wife. This death coming so soon after the death of his mother
seemed very hard to bear.
MRS. LUCY Candace (Burnap) Frost8 (9494), vol II., p. 62,
wife of James Burnap Frost of Brattleboro, Vt., being born upon
the farm where he now lives and where Mrs. Frost died May 29,
1902; she was born in Newfane, Vt., Feb. 24, 1834, daughter of
Deacon Asa and Ellen E. (Carter) Burnap; granddaughter
of Capt. Chandler and Lucy (Kenney) Carter; m. Mar. 29, 1857.
She was a kind and affectionate wife and mother, devoting her-
self to her family and had taught them the beauty of holiness.
Her sweet influence has been appreciated, she has not lived in
vain, and they will miss her more and more as the days go by.
The following lines were found by her son among his mother's
papers.
' ' One by one we cross the river
One by one we're ferried o'er,
One by one the crowns are given
On the bright and golden shore
Youth and childhood oft are passing
O'er the dark and rolling tide,
And the white-robed angel boat-man
Bears them o'e r the swelling tide.
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. 38
One by one we come to Jesus,
As we hear His gentle voice
One by one His vineyard enter
There to labor and rejoice.
One by one sweet flowers we gather
In the glorious work of love,
And the white-robed angel boatman
Bears them to the realms above."
DR. E. EDWIN Spencer (husband of Annie E. C. White7
(15854), vol. II., p. 543) died at his home in Cambridge, Mass.,
Jan. 19, 1903; Dr. Spencer was born in North Kingston, R. I.,
Eeb. 4, 1833, son of Esek and Maria Spencer and descended
from good farmer stock. He worked on the farm while attend-
ing school at East Greenwich academy. From there he went to
the Eclectic Medical College of Cincinnati, Ohio, from which
he graduated with high honors in 1856. While in Ohio, he
worked in the office of Prof. Robert Safford Newton. Upon
graduating, he went to Winchendon, Mass., in the office of Dr.
Robert Walker Geddes and while there graduated from the
Worcester Medical College in 1859. In 1860, refusing an offer
to become one of the faculty of the Cincinnati college, he began
to practise in Templeton, Mass. On Aug. 31, 1871, he married
Miss Annie E. C. White of Ashburnham, who died Jan. 25,
1901. In 1873, Dr. Spencer settled in Cambridge and resided
there continuously until the time of his death. He was made
city physician and held the office for some years. In 1891, was
appointed to the board of health of which he was elected chair-
man in 1893. The many-sided activity of the man was made
evident by the large number of societies in which he took a prom-
inent part. He was a charter member of the Massachusetts
Eclectic Medical society, of which he was a former president, and
at the time of his death, the treasurer; this office he had held for
fifteen years. He was a member of the Boston District Medical
Association, of which he had been president; of the National
Eclectic Medical Society; of the Massachusetts State Association
of Boards of Health; and a former president of the Art Circle, of
which he was chairman of the literature section at the time of his
death. He was also one of the pension examiners of Massachu-
setts. Another side of Dr. Spencer's character less generally

known, but worthy of the greatest praise, was his unfailing char-
ity. Many are the poor families which have been treated by him
and from whom he refused to take any recompense for his ser-
vices. He leaves a daughter, Miss Edna Lawrence Spencer, and a
sister, Mrs. Alice A. Geddes.
DR. JAMES I. Scollard, husband of Ellen R. White7 (13638),
vol. II., p. 363, died at his home in Clinton, N. Y., Feb. 20, 1903.
He was born in Springfield, N. Y., Mar. 30, 1824, son of William
R. Scollard. He moved with his parents to Manlius, N. Y., and
when but a young man, became interested in medicine and studied
in the office of Dr. Numf of that village. He attended the medi-
cal college at Albany, N. Y., where he received his diploma. In
1849, he settled in Clinton and became associated with Dr. George
Bissell, then a well known and prominent physician, whose prac-
tice he bought a few years later. Dr. Scollard was a successful
physician and his practice extended over a great territory, being
often called a great distance for consultation. Dr. Scollard was a
man of large financial interests; by close attention to business
and hard work, together with strict economic methods and
honest dealings, he accumulated a large amount of property,
both real and personal. He was a member of Clinton lodge, F.
and A. M. Dr. Scollard was twice married, marrying (2) Apr.
4, 1865, Ellen Richards, dau. of Dr. John and Lucy Baron
(Howe) White, b. in Westminster, Mass., Feb. 14, 1835. He
leaves besides a wife, one son, Clinton Scollard, b. in Clinton,
Sept. 18, 1860, the poet and novelist; he is a graduate of Ham-
ilton College and was at one time professor of literature in that
college; he married July 3, 1890, Georgia Brown of Jackson,
Mich.; they have one daughter, Elizabeth Scollard. b. Oct. 4,
1899; they reside in Clinton.
JOHN Brooks Hastings7 (11480), vol. II., p. 201, d. in Dar-
ien, Wis., June 12, 1902, at the age of eighty-six years. He
was born in Pembroke, Genesee County, N. Y., Nov. 20, 1815,
being the youngest of fourteen children, son of Solomon and
Lucinda (White) Hastings. His parents were married and lived
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. 40
in Charlemont, Mass., and most, and we thought all of their child-
ren were born there, though we knew that they moved to Genesee
County before the death of his father in 1828. He was one of
the oldest settlers of Darien, going there from New York in 1843,
and one year later purchased of Alden Stone, the farm of one
hundred and forty acres which he owned at the time of his death,
and where he lived until 1899, when failing health compelled
him to give up active labor. In early life he combined teaching
with farming for several years, then served as the town superin-
tendent for three years and filled other positions of trust. Mr.
Hastings married Nov. 12, 1846, Miss Maria Reed, who was b.
in Pembroke, N. Y., Nov. 21, 1818 and who preceded him to the
better life Sept. 30, 1882. To them five children were born, one
dying in infancy and four are left to mourn their loss, Frank of
Omaha, Neb., L. Edward, Kate and Octavus of Darien. His
only daughter has lived at home to care for and comfort him in
his declining years.

"The Lord is good: a stronghold in the day of trouble."
1653. 1903.
All roads led to Lancaster June thirtieth. I travelled with the
throng, each claiming citizenship in greater Lancaster. The
grand old town was as bright as a June morning could make it,
and this morning it had taken on additional brilliancy by the lav-
ish display of the "Red, White and Blue," in almost every con-
ceivable form. The magnificent Elms that make the streets
such beautiful promenades, seemed to hold themselves proudly
erect. The "Big Elm" that has bidden defiance to time and
tempest, seemed to deport itself with even more grace and dig-
nity than was its wont. The old church that could tell us so
many tales, conld the pulpit, the pew and the walls speak, opened
its arms at the appointed hour to receive the vast multitude.
A silence that could be felt fell upon that immense throng as
the venerable Pastor, who for more than half a century has taught
the people, by precept and practice, of the love of God and
brotherhood of man, rose to speak words of welcome. And as
the grand old organ pealed forth notes of zvelcome, of gratitude,
of praise and of hope, the warm, throbbing life of that great
audience was touched.
The orator of the day delivered a splendid oration ; splendid
under any other circumstances, but, to me at least, disappointing
in that he sought to cover so much of God's great earth. Why
couldn't the honorable gentleman given us a little more Lancaster,
and a little less of the wide, wide world?
69 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
Then the chief marshal formed the lines and they marched to
the banquet-tent, twenty-five hundred strong, where they all sat
down at one great table. Such an hour Lancaster had never seen.
The Governor of the Commonwealth; men who have received
high honors in civil and political life; the clergyman; the pro-
fessional man; the old soldier; all had come at Lancaster's bidding.
This was our first visit to Lancaster, and we could not spare
the time for the dinner and the speeches in the great tent. So
we went to the Inn, and "mine host" served us with a charming
dinner, and the hour was very profitably spent, for we were with
our oivn people. We saw many familiar faces from the "Associa-
tion of the Descendants of John White of Lancaster." Mr. John
B. White of Kansas City, the honored president of the associa-
tion, was there; Mr. George S. Houghton of Reading, Mass., the
first vice president, and his wife; the secretary and historian, Miss
Myra L. White of Haverhill, Mass.; Mr. and Mrs. Herbert II.
White of Hartford, Conn.; Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Houghton
of Baltimore, Md.; Air. Gilman B. Howe and Mrs. Sarah J. B.
Carpenter of Northboro, Mass., and many others from Leomin-
ster, Clinton and the surrounding towns. We used all the time
there was to use in our effort to "see what our fathers saw."
The old Homestead on the "Neck." Our feet actually treading
the very places where the feet of our ancestors must have been.
Mr. Herbert White adjusted his camera and "took us all in",
with the house that now stands on the old homestead, (if I didn't
hoodoo the whole thing — I have good luck at that). Later we
sought out the "lone pine tree" that stands as a grim sentry, ever
guarding the spot where occurred the terrible tragedy of the
Rowlandson Garrison House in 1676. The site of the first meet-
ing house when Rev. Joseph Rowlandson ministered to the people.
The old cemetery, with its ancient headstones that mark the
resting places of Lancaster's good and great of centuries long
gone. After some search we found the old, old cemetery, where
repose the dead of the early days. Is it here that John and his
wife Joane, and Josiah of the second generation and some of his
family, were laid at rest? Who can tell? History is silent. Had
our fathers known how succeeding: generations would search for
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. 70
proofs of the past, many things that are very dim or wholly unseen
would they have writ in letters large and clear.
The hour was getting late and we must say good-bye to Lan-
caster, beautiful, beautiful old Lancaster.

WILLIAM Johnson,1 b. in Canterbury, Kent county, Eng-
land, 1602; m. Elizabeth Story in 1630. He was in Charlestown,
Mass., as early as 1634. By trade he was a brick -maker, and be-
longed to the class of settlers that had the means of providing a
home for themselves, and meeting the charges incident to a new
plantation. Like the other settlers of Charlestown who had
families, he was assigned an homestead of two acres. This was
situated upon the main street. He also received, at the same
time, an allotment of ten acres in the "Great Corn Field." He
had a share in the division of Maiden lands in 1638, and, in ad-
dition, in 1658, received as his proportionate share of the "Mys-
tick side land," 27 acres of woodland and 4 1/2 acres of Common
land. He also had three rights in the "new commons." Though
not in public office, his successful management of his affairs,
throughout the trying period of building up a new town, shows
him to have been a man of energy and method in business, and
his characteristic handwriting and style of composition show him
to have possessed a good education. William and wife Elizabeth
were admitted to the church in Charlestown, in 1635. He was
made freeman in March, 1635. His will is dated Dec. 7, 1677.
His wife Elizabeth d. about 1686. Children:

hill, Mass., and was killed by the Indians Aug. 29,

JONATHAN Johnson2 (5), b. in Charlestown, Mass., Aug. 14,
1641, was one of the petitioners for the town of Marlboro, Mass ,
and moved there in 1662. He m. Oct. 14, 1663, Mary, dau. of
Richard and Anne Newton of Marlboro, b. in 1644. This was
the first marriage recorded in Marlboro. Jonathan was the first
blacksmith in the town. In those days the blacksmith's trade
was considered the highest of mechanical arts. Almost anybody
could use the saw, auger and shave, and half frame a house or
barn by the "try rule" but only a skilled workman could weld
and temper iron and steel. And as most kitchen utensils as well
as the farming and other tools were, in whole or in part, hand
wrought, the blacksmith was an essential to every household, and
was honored accordingly. Hence in most of the early towns a
house lot and all its accruing rights and privileges was set apart
for a blacksmith. The only other office to which such a gift was
made was the minister. And it is a fact worthy of notice that when
the house lots in Marlboro were assigned to the proprietors, Nov.
26, 1660, the lots of the minister and blacksmith were of equal size,
that is thirty acres. His lot was one of the most eligible in the
village, being located directly south of the Old Common. Being
thus central, his shop was the general resort for news and the
general transaction of business. Public notices were usually re-
quired to be posted here. The "smith" preceded the "tavern"
by many years. In his later years he was employed as the school-
master of the town. In December, 1699, he taught in his dwell-
ing house before a schoolhouse was erected in town in 1700. He
appears to have been greatly prosperous in his business, as shown
by his ability to purchase house lots, and other land whenever
they came into market. His handwriting, samples of which exist
in deeds and other documents, indicate a man of marked individ-
uality and force of character He wrote his will but a few years
before his death, at the age of seventy, yet the bold, clear cut let-
ters would do credit to a practical penman. He was well educa-
ted for the times. He was one of the selectmen of Marlboro, in
1711, and d. Apr. 21, 1712, aged 71. His wife Mary d. Dec
28. 1728, aged 84. Children:

WHITE FAMILY OUARTERLY. 98
DEATHS.
Mrs Susan Clark (Jones) Stannus8 (4125), Vol. I, p. 353, widow
of Samuel Stannus of Tacoma, Wash., and dau. of Joab and
Lydia (White) Jones, b. in Marietta, Ohio, Apr. 2, IS IS, and
great grand-daughter of Major Haffield White, who went as com-
missary and conductor of the first detachment of the "Ohio
Company," which left Dauvers, Mass., in Decemher, 1787, for
Washington county, Ohio (then the great North-west).
Mrs. Stannus was among the hardy pioneers who crossed the
plains in 1853, locating in Benton county, Oregon. She was a
woman of broad education and retained her love of books through
all her later years. She moved with her husband, in 1885, to
Tacoma, where he died Oct. 18, 1891; she died in Tacoma, at the
home of her youngest daughter, Mrs. Emma S. Crowe, May 24,
1903. She leaves one son and three daughters, Leander Stannus
of Moscow, Idaho; Mrs. Ella G. Litchfield of Watsonville, Cak;
Mrs. Rosa Hamlin of Watsonville; and Mrs. Crowe.
Although well advanced in years, she was very active, and but
recently returned from a visit to her children in California. She
will be greatly missed, not only by her children but by a large
circle of friends, but they can truly say that "their loss is her
gain."
Joseph Smith, husband of Nancy S. Brawn8 (4271), Vol. I, p.
372, died in Moultonboro, N. H., May 14, 1903. He was son of
James and Lydia (Perkins) Smith, born in Moltonboro, Oct. 4,
1822. His father dying in his childhood, he lived with his uncle,
Joseph Smith of Moultonboro, where he was a farmer. Mrs.
Nancy Smith died Mar. 16, 1886, and he married (2) Martha A.
Lovejoy, who survives him. He leaves one son, Andrew J.
Smith of Moultonboro, and two grandchildren.
Guy E. Carter10 (9113), Vol. II, p. 21, born in Leominster,
Mass., June 14, 18S7, son of Everett M. and Louise M. (Wheeler1)
Carter, was drowned in the lake at East Washacum, Sterling,
Mass , July 9, 1903. He was in camp with the "Unitarian Boys'
Club" of Leominster, of which he was a member, and had started
with two of his companions to swim to the shore from a boat
stationed out in the lake. Before the shore was reached, Guy's

strength was exhausted and he sank in sight of his companions,
and their efforts to help him were fruitless.
Guy was a member of the Leominster High School, class of
1904, and of the High School Cadets. He will be sadly missed
by his young companions as well as his afflicted family.

WRITTEN ON A GENEALOGICAL WORK.
In eighteen hundred eighty-nine,
I began this work of mine;
For relatives and friends most dear,
I visited graveyards far and near;
While it gave me both pleasure and pain,
Naught would induce me to do it again;
Hoping you now are satisfied
That in the attempt I had not died.

1. Capt. EDWARD Johnson, the most remote ancestor, came
from Heme Hill, a parish near Canterbury, England. He came,
no doubt, in the fleet with Winthrop, 1630, and took oath of al-
legiance, May 18, 1631; he was the author of the curious history
called "Wonder Working Providences of Sion's Savior in New
England". After living some time in Charlestown or Salem, he
went home to bring his wife Susanna, seven children and three
servants, and settled in Charlestown in 1637, became one of the
founders of the church in Woburn, was representative 1643-1671
except the year 1648, and was speaker in 1655, was town clerk
almost thirty years and did other valuable service. His will of
May 15, 1671, written with his own hand, names wife Susan or

set off in 1740, as the town of Leominster. This family is printed
in volume second of the Descendants of John White, page 753,
as far as the records could be obtained at that time, and Asa is
there called Asa, Jr., as his name was found on papers written
in that manner, there being an older man by the name in Leo-
minster. The ancestry of Tamar Whitcomb5 will be found in
volume first, page 75. "Asa Johnson, of Leominster, was a
private in Capt. Joseph Sargent's company, Col. Josiah Whit-
ney's regiment, pay abstract for mileage, dated June 22, 1777;
also private in a company commanded by Capt. Joseph Sargent

"Descendants of John White", b. in Buckland, Mass, Jan. 31,
1823; died July 10, 1903, at the old homestead in Buckland,
where he had spent his entire life of eighty years. In early life
he relinquished his collegiate studies at the earnest solicitations
of his father and settled upon the homestead, where he was an
enterprising and prosperous farmer. Mr. Griswold was selectman
a score or more of years, and served the town in the capacity of
town clerk, chairman of school committee, and justice of the
peace. He showed marked sagacity in his official administration
during the Civil war. He represented the district in the conven-
tion held in Boston in 1853 to revise the constitution of the state,
and served in the Legislature the following year. His judgment
was widely sought and much relied upon. He was one of the
founders and a staunch supporter of the Methodist church, and
took an active part in all questions of public interest. He was
the son of Hon. Joseph and Lovisa (White)6 Griswold, being the
youngest of fourteen children, but one of whom died in childhood.
He married first, Jan. 1, 1846, Ann Eliza Davis of Buckland, who
died July 22, 1859; he married second, Oct., 19, 1872, Eliza A.
Townsley of Springfield, Mass., who survives him with one
daughter, Josephine Griswold. Of the four children by his first
wife, two are now living, Emerson J. Griswold of Buckland, and
Mariette, wife of Rev. Wallace Nutting of Providence, R. I.

homestead, where she was taken as a bride Dec. 19, 1842, by
Michael Bilow, who was born in Winchester, Canada, June 1,
1817. He purchased his farm in Richville in 1841, and there
they spent nearly forty-four years, enjoying the labor and bless-
ings as well as the hardships of a pioneer life. Mr. Bilow died
Oct. 19, 1886, leaving seven children, Mrs Aurilla Liscum, Mrs.
Margaret B. Price, Mrs. Lucelia D. Bresee, M. D. Lafayette
Bilow, Mrs. Asenath C. Judge, Mrs. Harriet E. Foster and John
C. F. Bilow, who has remained upon the homestead. She united

ever a faithful and active member, highly respected by all. She
will be greatly missed not only by her children and grandchil-
dren, but also by a large circle of friends.

terial, style and inscription, to be subject to the approval of your

adoption, with the amendment, that "some Markers be placed at
the Old Homestead." The motion to adopt and the amendment
being duly seconded, the President called for the vote upon the
amendment, and it was declared carried. Upon the question as

Mr. C. E. Houghton of Baltimore, Md., moved that the names
of the Daughters of John White be placed upon the "Markers."
The vote was called and the motion declared carried.
Charles S. Houghton of Leominster, moved that a "Committee
be appointed, consisting of one from each town or city, to look
after the interests of the Association, to urge upon those who are
eligible, that they secure membership in the Association, and to
aid the secretary in every way possible in her work." Several
spoke upon the question, advocating its adoption. The vote was

George A. White of Franklin Park, spoke in the interest of the
"White Family Quarterly," urging that every member of the
"White Family" should be a subscriber, and assist in every way
to make the publication a success. Miss Myra L. White of Hav-
erhill, Mass., spoke at some length, giving the reason for the pub-
lication of the "Quarterly," how many branches of the family do
not appear in their proper place in the "Genealogy" because at
the time of the printing of the book she had not discovered them,
and that the Quarterly was the channel through which she should
continue to give the results of her genealogical research. And

appealing to the family far and wide to assist her in this work by
subscribing for the Quarterly, as well as the Genealogy.
George A. White moved that "The Quarterly be the official
organ of the Association; that the constitution be printed therein,
and that all official notices be issued through that channel." Mo-
tion declared carried. Voted: The Association take a recess until
one P.M. for dinner.
Called to order at 1.30 P.M. President White favored the As-
sociation with an able and interesting address upon early histori-
cal events, touching upon many things that concerned the family
alone and also upon its connection by marriage and inter-marriage
with the prominent and influential families of the times. The ad-
dress was most cordially received.
Mrs. Haley of South Lee, N.H., beautifully rendered a solo,
much to the gratification of the hearers.
A paper on the "Rowlandson Garrison House" and its capture
by the Indians February 10, 1676; was read by John F. White of
Somerville, and favorably received.
Mrs. Haley then read an original poem in which the White
lost none of the honors of the past.
Mrs. Weston kindly favored the Association in the reading of
an original paper, that added to the pleasure of the occasion.
The President then called upon Mr. Horace White of Rich-
ville, for a recitation. And our aged friend, with all the vigor
and energy of his youthful days, rendered in the most charming
manner possible, "How can we lift them up."
The President announced as the next order of business the
election of officers and appointed as a committee on nomination
Miss Myra L. White, Haverhill, Mrs. Salem Wilder, Clinton,
Mrs. Margaret F. Mathews, Ft. Worth, Texas. While the com-
mittee were arranging the list of officers John Wilder Fairbank

REUNION OF THE WHITE FAHILY, 1903.
We, scions of an ancient tree,
Meet here on old and sacred ground;
Members of that noble family,
We gather proudly around.
There courses through our veins today
"Blue blood" of noble dames and sires,
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
Unstained we trust by world's affray;
God grant not by its many mires.
Tis said "Blood tells;" if this be true,
'Twere fitly spoken now, I ween —
For manly faces here I view,
And ladies too, of fairer mien.
I, from a branch of Maine's best name,
Greet cousins of the same good stock,
Who lingered nearer to the plane —
Nearer the far famed "Plymouth Rock."
SILAS — of roving mind, we think,
Engaged in war with French, we hear;
Saw the grand scenery as he passed,
And said, "A home I'll build me here."
By the Kennebec he stopped to rest;
The busy waters passed him by;
Each mountain towering above the rest,
Lifted its rugged head on high.
Now Bingham, where he settled down,
Has given the world some noble men;
Today a brilliant, thrifty town,
Is greatly changed, we trust, since then.
He, the first White to "Parlin pond,"
Gave it in sport his family name;
A younger son of "Lennox's Earls"
Was never sorry that he came.
He later married Lydia Wood,
Of good old "Puritan" stock and name,
Her mother was a "White" so good —
And some were known perchance to fame.
They tell us though the years are gone
So much about the "Parlin Pride"
That when the "Parlin Pride" had flown—
The Parlin very soon had died.
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. ?
Silas of "Revolutionary" fame,
Rears Abel up to man's estate.
Captain in eighteen hundred twelve,
Sought for himself a fitting mate.
To Lydia Goodrich he is wed,
Whose people came— in thirty-two—
A quiet life in Watertown led,
Of English blood so blue.
One daughter of this union
Christened Elizabeth by name,
Married a New Hampshire man,
Kindly and good, of honest fame.
His people came from England
When this, our land was new,
Fought in the Colonial wars,
And Revolution too.
With pardonable pride we trace the lines
On every side to sources best,
And feel a mighty trust is ours
To keep unstained —a name so blest.
Down all these lines of good descent
Has this same old pride run deep,
Pure as when from the spring it went,
And pure on its way shall keep.
Nor generations dare to mar,
Or tarnish this good, unsullied name—
Nor join inferior streams to this;
Remember the fount from whence it came.
When we, who gather here today,
Pass on to future joys in store,
May those who fill our places then
Respect the names we bore.
Mrs. SARA M. HALEY.
10 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
ADDRESS BY JOHN F. WHITE,
at the "White Reunion" Lancaster, Hass., Sept. 2, 1903.
Mr. President and cousins of varied degree:
On this beautiful day, that represents to us the 250th anniver-
sary of the settlement of our pioneer ancestor in this grand old
town, it is meet that we put in the back ground as much as we
may, the fact that in this 250 years the family has been scattered
to the four winds. That thay have filled with credit to themselves
and to their friends, many honorable positions. In the legislative
halls; in the Pulpit; on the Bench; at the Bar; in all the lines of Pro-
fessional and Merchantile life as well as all the minor walks of
life, we find the "descendants of John White of Lancaster" in
perhaps greater numbers than of any other man that ever lived in
this old town.
It is our aim today to go far back in the history of our family,
and take up some incident in that history, that we may study in
its many bearings with, we trust, some advantage to all.
There are many such incidents which pertain to the history of
Lancaster alone. And one of these we have chosen. One which
is of interest to all, and possibly of more interest to some, for you
may be direct descendants of the participators of that eventful
day.
Sixteen hundred and seventy six was a bitter year for Lancaster.
Sorrow, desolation, death, and almost annihilation as a town, was
the draught the people were forced to drink to its very dregs.
The year opened upon them, the darkest they had known in the
history of the Plantation. Clouds of uncertainty were low about
them. Many were the rumors of the incursions and depredations
of the savage Red Men of the forest. Tragic tales .were told of
death among the settlers from bullet, knife or tomahawk. The
Governor and his Councillors at Boston were unaccountably slow
in providing adequate protection for the Planter and his family
that were scattered up and down these beautiful valleys and over
these majestic hills. Fear, in so much as a brave man or woman
knows fear, was in every heart. They did not fear to meet the
savage in an open contest and a fair fight. But the red man did
not fight that way. It was an ambush, a stroke in the back, or a
sudden rush at midnight.
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. II
It was known that Philip had not only stirred up his own peo-
ple, but also the Wampangoas and the Nipmucks, and in that
feverish condition of brooding over the real or fancied wrongs of
the white man, an attack might be expected at any time.
The situation was so serious that the people had alreany built
for themselves places of defence that they called Garrison houses.
That is, here and there throughout the Plantation would be a house
built especially strong, and with varied means of defense; and to
which the people in that immediate vicinity would fly for refuge
in case of attack from the savage foe.
There were five of these Garrisons in Lancaster, and it is of
one of them, the Rowlandson Garrison House, that we will speak
today. To describe its location, it is not necessary for me to take
your time. For if there is one of you that has not visited it in
the past, you certainly have sought out that historic spot today.
The wind still sighs and moans through the branches of the "lone
Pine Tree" that markes its site, as though mourning for the tragedy
of the past. Of its architectural style, there is very little to be
learned from the historical page. It is passing strange that there
is so little. We are almost persuaded that there is a significance
in this very fact. We read of other Garrison Houses and Block
Houses and get some idea of their means of defense. But little,
very, very little of this. Marvin says: " This Garrison was guard-
ed only on the front (which probably faced south) and the two
sides, with no flankers to cover the rear and no port-holes in that
direction." Another writer says; "there was one flanker and an-
other in process of erection." And Hubbard the historian says:
"The fortification was on the back side of the building but covered
up with fire wood." And he also mentions a "leanter." It
would seem that this description as given by Hubbard was the
more reasonable in view of the after facts.
The morning of Feb. 10, 1676 finds the inhabitants of Lancas-
ter hastily leaving their homes with the few valuables that they
could take with them, and seeking refuge in the Garrison Houses,
for the alarm of attack had gone forth before the rising of the sun.
Most writers agree that there were forty-two persons, old and
young in the Minister's garrison that morning, although Mrs,
Rowlandson in her book mentions only thirty-seven,
12 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
It is not necessary for me to tell you the story of that fearful
two hours, of the tremendous anxiety, of the torturing suspense,
of the dreadful agony of mind, that is greater than that of the
body, to say nothing of the suffering of the wounded and the
dying, from the time of the invasion of the garrison by the In-
dians, until all was over and the heroic endeavors of that little
band had become history. Mrs. Rowlandson tells of the bullets
that fell like hail, of this one being wounded, then another, and then
a third, of that one falling dead, of the building being fired and
one going out quenched it, of its being quickly fired again, of the
murtherous heathen that struck down every christian that they
could reach, and of the final force of the flames that compelled
them to choose death by fire or a possible worse than death at the
hands of the savages. Of the forty-two that sought shelter in the
Minister's garrison, one escaped to tell the tale of defeat, death
and capture, fourteen were known to have met death there,
twenty were known to have been carried away captive. Of the
fate of the other seven — only the Indians could tell.
The "Annals of Lancaster" give these names as those in the
Minister's garrison that day:

While these heroic men went to death, and these women and
children to captivity, it was only after most desperate resistance.
We cannot for a moment think that the men, women and children
in that garrison did not make all the defense possible under the
conditions that surrounded them. The women of New England,
in that day and generation were of heroic mould, (and have ever
been). The Hannah Dustins were not confined to Haverhill, but
were all through the New England plantations where the question
of life, honor, and her children's saftey was concerned. We are
pursuaded that the women and even the younger children were
no hindrence in the defence of that garrison. Mrs. Rowlandson
tells of "the blood that run down to their heels". But it was
a hopeless fight. Hopeless from almost the very invasion of the
garrison. Hopeless! Why? Because these men were less
14 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
brave? • Because these women were less heroic? Because these
children were more fearful? No. But rather because they did
not have a fighting chance. Have you thought that no other
garrison in Lancaster was captured? Have you thought that of
the 55 that were killed or captured in Lancaster that dreadful
day, 41 of them met their fate at the Rowlandson garrison? It
is true that the garrison of Cyprian Stevens received help from
Marlboro, but that does not account for the fact that the others
repelled the foe. Is not the reason embodied in the conditions
that prevented a successfnl defense? We see on history's page
that Joseph Rowlandson made ample provision to protect his
family from the severity of the winter's cold. But that same his-
tory fails altogether to give us a reason why the fire-wood should
be piled up over the fortifications, as Hubbard says it was. We
have not a satisfactory reason to offer why the defenses of the
Rowlandson garrison were so meagre. It is true that this was in
the midst of the winter, at the coldest of New England's cold
winter, and probably with quite a body of snow upon the ground,
as Mrs. Rowlandson makes several allusions to the snow in her
"removes." But this did not warrant any lack of vigilance on
the part of the settlers, for they knew full well of the uneasiness
that prevailed among the Red Men to the west of them; and that
the families of the natives that lived in their very midst could not
be trusted as they had been heretofore for it was believed that
they were all under the domination and control of Philip, and had
been for some time. In the previous August there had been an
attack from the savages, and eight of the Lancaster people had
fallen in that attack. Following this there was a comparative
quiet for a time. But the towns people realized that it was only
" the calm before the storm," else why were Mr. Rowlandson
and Lieut. Kerley absent at that very time trying to impress upon
the Colonial authorities at Boston, the pressing need of better
protection for Lancaster. Had Mr. Rowlandson and Lieut. Ker-
ley been in the garrison that fatal morn it would have made no
difference beyond the fact that two more good men would have
gone to death .
There is no doubt but that Joseph Rowlandson was a good
preacher and an excellent pastor; and that in all matters pertain-
ing to a spiritual warfare that he was very successful in all of his
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. 15
labors. But in a temporal warfare where the weapons used were
the rifle, the knife, the tomahawk and the firebrand, and it was
necessary to defend against them, some how he did not measure
up to the needs of the hour.
Would Capt. John White, the noted Indian fighter, who figured
so conspicuously in Lancaster's history in the next generation,
and understood so thoroughly what was needed for defense against
the treacherous savage, think you that he would have permitted
great piles of fire wood to have covered the fortifications of his
garrison? No. He appreciated all too keenly the necessity of
instant readiness to meet the savage foe. It was true that Mr.
Rowlandson made excellent provision for his family, but that
same provision was a contributing factor to the loss of all that he
possessed.
We can readily understand, though there may be a few among
us who have an actual knowledge of what war is, that the very
location of the Rowlandson garrison did not make it readily de-
fensible. And the wily foe was quick to see the weak points,
both in structure and defense, and as quick to act. It was not
long after the invasion of the garrison that the Indians dis-
covered that the defense on the back side of the building was very
weak or none at all, and that continued attack upon that side
failed to show defense. What is more natural than for us to con-
clude that, continuing the attack upon the three sides of the
building where they were meeting a vigorous defense, such a de-
fense as to make it impracticable to rush the building, batter
down the doors, and so overcome by sheer force of numbers, that
by fire alone could they drive them forth.
They had learned that it was death to the redskin that got
within reach of the guns of the garrison, for the bodies of many
of their number were fast growing cold on the snow covered
ground. They also knew that what they would do they must do
quickly, for we cannot presume that they were ignorant of the
rapid approach of Capt. Wads worth and his intrepid force of forty
determined men. They also knew those forty guns would make
fearful havoc in their ranks, the moment that they could get with-
in gun shot.
So the chief determined to deal a crushing blow if possible.
16 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
Quickly calling by his swift runners, reinforcements from the at-
tacking force on the other garrisons, he bends all his energies to
fire the building and so drive out the gallant defenders that he
had failed to dislodge in any other way. And here was where
Joseph Rowlandson's planning or lack of planning, was fatal to
his own. Those great piles of fire wood that were piled so high
that they covered all the port holes on that side of the building,
furnished the enemy with just the munitions of war they needed.
The "leanter" mentioned by Hubbard, must have fired even
more readily than the building itself or the firewood piled against
it. Quickly that little band of defenders realized that their great-
est danger was not from the bullets of the foe. The crackling
of the flames as they rapidly ate into the frail "leanter" and the
piles of dry firewood, was heard even above the fearful din of at-
tack at the right and left and in front of them. Those stout
hearts quailed. For an instant the ruddy cheeks paled. But the
reaction followed even faster, and that brave man, that history
has failed entirely to identify, rushed forth from the garrison, and
rapidly dashed the blazing brands hither and thither until the
building was free from danger, and then quickly regained his
place within the walls. How much we would like to know that
man's name. But there is no possible way for identification. The
name is lost, but the action itself stands out upon the annals of
time as grandly heroic as that of any of the heroes of the past.
Even the savage, crazed as he was for the white man's blood, was
amazed and bewildered at such a display of heroism, and for the
moment not a shot was fired. But this respite from immediate
danger was brief. Quickly the red man was the savage again,
and the fire was crackling, and flashing, and blazing, fiercer than
it had before. Breaking through wall and roof; the smoke was
stifling and the heat was intense. What a fearful dilemma for
those brave women. All had been done that could be done.
Every means of defense had been exhausted. On the one side,
the garrison house that had sheltered them, a seething furnace;
on the other — a fate that might be more dreadful than fire. Un-
der these awful circumstances they must choose, and choose they
did. Would you have the story in all its heart rending, blood
curdling and soul harrowing detail? Then read Mrs. Rowland-
son's book that for more than two hundred years has kept hold
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. 17
upon popular favor, and the more than a score of editions testify
the appreciation of its eloquence and pathos.
It is with grateful hearts that we gather from history's page
that Mrs. Rowlandson and some of the other women who were
captured that day were most wonderfully preserved from the fate
that so often was brutally dealt to the female captive by the red-
skin foe.
We have given you the names of those who were restored to
their friends by ransom and of those who perished in captivity,
as well as those of whom nothing is known beyond the fact that
they were taken away captive, — our imagination must supply the
rest.
Are we grateful enough to the "Giver of all good" that our lot
in life is cast in such pleasant places ?

DANIEL Harrington7 (5598), Vol. I, page 480, died at his
home in Westminster, Mass., May 3, 1903. He was born in
Westminster, Jan. 26, 1813; married July 1834, Nancy,6 daughter
of Dea. James and Thankful (Patch) White5 (612), born in West-
minster, Aug. 18, 1815; she died in Westminster, Dec. 3, 1893.
Mr. Harrington was a farmer in South Westminster, where he
had the respect and esteem of all. A small family gathering was
held at his home on his ninetieth birthday and he enjoyed it very
much, for his mind was wonderfully clear for a man of his years
and remained so until his last sickness which was very brief. He
was always interested in all that concerned each member of the
family and the children and grandchildren will not forget the
words of counsel and encouragement received from him in the
many years he was spared to them, although they will miss his
cheery word and pleasant smile.
Mrs. Melinda (Hutt9) Carter (17824), Vol. II, page 717, died at
her home in Leominster, Mass., Sept. 27, 1903. She was born
at Chipman's Brook, Nova Scotia, Apr. 26, 1857; married in
Fitchburg, Mass., July 1, 1880, Rufus B., son of Luke Wheelock
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. 31
and Abigail F. (Priest) Carter, born in Leominster, Feb. 10, 1847;
they lived in Leominster, where he died Nov. 26, 1901, leaving
five children. Death has again entered that home and taken from
those dear children the loving care and counsel of a devoted
mother, and though they have the heartfelt sympathy of all in
their deep bereavement, yet there is no one but the Father of the
fatherless who can comfort and support them in this trying hour.
May they learn to look to him for the help they so much need.
Mrs. ADA J. (Denig) White, wife of William F. White8
(9925), Vol. II, page 86, of Chicago, 111., died in Boston, Mass.,
buriel at Rosehill Cemetery, Chicago, Sept. 24, 1903.
FREDERICK L. White8 (4337), Vol. I. page 380, died in
Bethlehem, N. H., July 30, 1903, aged 55 years. He was born
in Boston, Mass., April 11, 1848; went when a young man with
his father to Littleton, N. H., where they entered into business
together. In 1868 they opened a branch store in Bethlehem, and
soon after his father moved there, and the store has been continued
ever since under the firm name of C. G. White & Son. His
father died in Bethlehem Feb. 4, 1885, and Mr. White besides
continuing the large department store, was the owner of three
other stores, including a fine Casino, the White Mountain sou-
venir store, and the club house at the golf links. Mr. White was
for years trustee and a leading member of the Methodist church,
also president of the Bethlehem Golf Association, and of the
Bethlehem board of trade. He was a member of the Golden
Cross commandary at Lancaster, N. H. and of the Odd Fellow's
lodge in Boston.
He married Sept. 18, 1871, Lizzie K., dau. of Henry Bursley
of Boston, who survives him; they had one daughter, Gertrude
L., born in Boston Dec. 28, 1872; she died in Bethlehem, Jan. 13,
1889.
Mr. White was a man of the highest character and of genial
nature which had won him thousands of friends among the innu-
merable summer visitors that have thronged Bethlehem for the

last quarter of a century. His sudden death cast a gloom over
the entire community, visitors uniting with his relatives and
town's people in mourning his loss. Always in the front in all
movements for improvement, few men had done more than Mr.
White for the upbuilding of the town, or will be more truly
mourned.

WHITING GATES
WHITING Gates8 (21940), Vol. Ill; died at his home in Leo-
minster, Mass., Feb. 29, 1904. He was born in Leominster,
Feb. 27, 1815, son of Jonas and Martha (Divoll) Gates, and
great grandson of Mary Sawyer5 (743), p. 78, and John Divoll5
(859), p. 85, Vol. I, "Descendants of John White." He married
Jan. 5, 1842, Lncy Ann, daughter of Salmon and Abigail
(Carter) Richardson, born in Leominster, Jan. 1, 1816; she died
Oct. 13, 1879.
Mr. Gates when nineteen years old attended school in Way-
land, Mass , and later in Newton, Mass., where he worked his
way with two other boys. "If there came a stormy Saturday
school was in session, and the holiday then came on some pleas-
ant week day when the boys would be able to do some work."
He also attended Uncle Tom Frye's Quaker school two winters.
He taught school in Leominster and Lunenburg; then went to
Worcester, Mass., where he was clerk and deputy sheriff until
1842, when he returned to Leominster, and settled, with his
widowed mother, on the farm since known as the "Whiting
Gates farm." On the estate was a saw and grist-mill, which he
managed in connection with the farm, he was also the first to in-
troduce the manufacture of buttons, the first being made in a
room fitted up in his mill. When nearly seventy-five years of
age, Mr. Gates left the farm and built the house where he after-
ward resided.
Mr. Gates was the oldest native born member of the Unitarian
34 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
parish, and yet no one was more interested in the building of the
new church.
Mr. Gates never grew old except in years, but was in sympa-
thy with the youngest, and ever ready to add to their enjoyment.
His pleasant smile and kind words will be sadly missed at the
reunions of our association, in which he has ever shown so deep
an interest. He was one of the oldest descendants of John
White of Lancaster, Mass., and we also find among his ancestors
the following names of the first settlers of Lancaster and Leo-
minster— John Prescott, Thomas Sawyer, John Whitcomb,
Thomas Wilder, John Divoll, Gamaliel Beaman, John Houghton,
Samuel Carter, John Moore, Jacob Farrar, John Smith, Edward
Phelps, Reubin Gates and Hooker Osgood.
Mr. Gates leaves besides a large circle of friends, six children
to mourn his loss, Jonas W. Gates of Leominster, Abbie E.
Gates, who had cared for her father, Susan R.Gates of Hingham,
Mass., Mrs. Martha E. Edwards, Leominster, Hattie L. P. and
Fannie P. Gates who also shared their father's home.
GILBERT Silas Morton, husband of Helen Lilley8 (10431),
p. 131, Vol. II, died at his home in Shenandoah, Iowa, April 10,
1902; born near Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 9, 1846, son of Daniel
and Sarah (Bryant) Morton. They were married in Chillicothe,
Kan , where she was teaching, Nov. 27, 1873. He lived for a
short time in Kewanee, 111., then settled in Iowa where he was
a prosperous farmer; but later retiring, settled in Shenandoah.
Mr. Morton was one of the wealthiest men in the community
in which he lived, and had always been a hard worker. He was
honest in all his dealings and kind to those who needed his help,
his tenants have naught but good words to say of him. As evi-
dence of his kindness of heart, during the year of drought, when
his tenants were not able to make any money on his farms and
raised very little grain, he charged them only a very small rent,
thus dividing with them the hardships which they were called to
endure.
Although Mr. Morton will be sadly missed among his large
circle of friends and acquaintances yet it is in his home the
loss will be most keenly felt. He leaves, besides his wife one

daughter Stella, wife of Dr. H. H. Richardson of Shenandoah.
Miss MARY Gill Clark7 (12748), p. 294, Vol. II, died at her
home in North Charlestown, N. H., Feb 6, 1904, after a short
illness, aged 91 years. Miss Clark was born in Princeton, Mass.,
Oct. 20, 1812, daughter of Aaron and Elizabeth (Brooks6) Clark.
She lived in the house with her brother Aaron, Jr., who died Dec.
25, 1900, and his widow and children will greatly miss "Aunt
Mary's" loving companionship; for she was one who through her
long life ever had a tender care for others, and even in her last
sickness did not forget to inquire many times in a day for her
sister-in-law who was ill at the time.
Dea. BENJAMIN Franklin Cram8 (4284), p. 374, Vol. I, died
at his home in Kingston, N. H., Jan. 1, 1904. wanting but two
days of 83 years. Dea. Cram was born in Hampton Falls, N.H.,
Jan. 3, 1821, son of Benjamin and Rebecca Fletcher (White7)
Cram. He married Nov. 4, 1846, Lizzie S, daughter of Caleb,
Jr. and Sally (Tuck) Smith, born in Brentwood, N.H., Dec. 9,
1824.
Dea. Cram was a farmer in Hampton Falls for several years
but later moved to Kingston where he was deacon and treasurer
in the Congregational church for more than twenty-five years,
he was collector of taxes in the town eleven years and held other
offices in town and church.
His loss will be deeply felt in the community, for he truly can
be called "The noblest work of God," an honest man. He
leaves besides his wife, five children to mourn his loss, for
although they had been married more than 57 years, his death
was the first to break the family circle. His children are — Julia
L., wife of Woodbury Collins of Danville, N.H., F. Herbert
Cram of New Haven, Conn., Sarah E., wife of George E. Bailey,
of Kingston,. Milan C. Cram of Haverhill, Mass , and Charlotte
L. Cram living at the homestead with her mother.
Mrs. ABBIE Frances (Spalding) White, wife of Charles
Hodsdon White8 (4287), p. 375, Vol. I, died at her home in Wil-
ton, N. H., Jan. 3, 1904; born in Wilton, Aug. 28, 1834,
36 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
daughter of Charles and Lydia Jones (Burns) Spalding. They
were married Nov. 27, 1856, and lived for a short time inMilford,
N.H., and then settled in Wilton, where her kindly acts and
amiable disposition has endeared her to a large circle of friends.
Yet it is in her home that her loving care and tenderness will be
most sadly missed, for she was indeed a devoted wife and mother.
Mrs. White left, besides her husband, four children — Mrs.
Emma L. wife of Willard N. Griffin of Gloucester, Mass., Carrol
S. White of Manchester, N. H., Mrs. Jennie F. widow of Las
Casas Barnes of Wilton, who is now living with her father, and
Charles W. White of Nashua, N.H., as well as eight grand
children who will miss the willing hands of dear grandma. She
also left one brother Charles C. Spalding and two sisters Mrs.
Lucy K. wife of Gardner Blanchard and Mrs. Mary R. widow of
Asa Blanchard all living in Wilton.
Mrs. CHARLOTTE Amelia (Burt7) West (14743), p. 460,
Vol. II, died in Jackson, Mich., Nov. 13, 1902; born in West-
moreland, N.H., Jan. 20, 1829, daughter of Willard and Martha
(Wood6) Burt; she married Feb. 24, 1855, John A. West of Wor-
cester, Mass., who died Sept. 16, 1863, in Worcester, where she
remained a few years and then settled in Jackson, among her
cousins who were her nearest living relatives. She was buried in
"Rural Cemetery" Worcester, beside her husband.
Mrs. HANNAH A. (Houseman) Wood, wife of George
Wood7 (14716), p. 452, Vol. II, died in Sandstone, Mich., May
19, 1903; born in Orleans Co., N.Y., Sept. 11, 1825, daughter of
Jacob and Polly (Loudon) Houseman. Her maternal ancestors

IRA Lucian White7 (10370), p. 121, Vol. II, died in Milwaukee,
Wis. Apr. 2, 1904. Mr. White was born in West Brome,
Province of Quebec, May 4, 1837, son of William F. and Char-
lotte Smith (Perrigo) White. His parents were both born in the
state of Vermont, but lived for a short time in Quebec, moving
to Galena, 111., very soon after the birth of his son and later to
Viroqua, Wis., where he began his life work with his father, car-
rying the United States mail. After coming of age the gold
craze carried him alone to California, where in 1860, he was
riding a pony express every day. A year later he was driving a
coach and six around mountain defiles, with revolvers in his
pockets and bandits around him. He returned to Green Bay,
Wis , where he continued as mail carrier several years, then set-
tled in Milwaukee and for twelve years he carried all the mail
between the post office, the sub-stations and the depots in Mil-
waukee, his sons taking his contract in the summer of 1903.

WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
It was voted at the Reunion, held in Lancaster, Mass., Sept-
ember 2, 1903, that "The Quarterly be the official organ of the
Association; that the constitution be printed therein, and that all
official notices be issued through that channel."
Now, this is not the only object of the Quarterly, for it is
needed vry much, in which to print the branches which could
not be found when the first and second volumes were printed,
but which lightly belonged in them ; and for which there is not
room in the third volume yet in press. Also to keep up the cur-
rent records of the the family. In the Quarterly for 1903, were

VOLUME II. July, 1904. NUMBER III.
"The Lord is good: a stronghold in the day of trouble."
ROYAL ANCESTRY OF JOHN PRESCOTT,
Founder of Lancaster, Mass.
First Lineage.
(Continued from page 19.)
33. King Alfred the Great, born in Wantage, Berkshire, Eng-
land, 849; m. in 869, Alswitha, dau. of Ethelred, a Mercian earl-
derman. He was crowned in Winchester in 871. He has left us
his own conception of what a king should be. "Power is never a
good, unless he be good that has it; so it is the good of the man, not
of the power. If power be goodness, therefore it is that no man
by his dominion can come to the virtues and to merit; but by his
virtues and merit he comes to dominion and thus no man is better
for his power; but if he be good, it is from his virtues that he is
good. From his virtues he becomes worthy of power, if he be
worthy of it By wisdom you may come to power, though
you should not desire the power. You need not be solicitous
about power, nor strive after it. If you be wise and good, it will
follow you, though you should not wish it."
"Ah! Wise One, thou knowest that greed and the possession
of this earthly power never were pleasing to me, nor did I ever
greatly desire this earthly kingdom — save that I desired tools
and materials to do the work that it was commanded me to do.
This was that I might guide and wield wisely the authority com-
mitted to me. Why! thou knowest that no man may understand
66 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY
any craft or wield any power, unless he have tools and materials.
Every craft has its proper tools. But the tools that a king needs
to rule are these; to have his land fully peopled; to have priest-
men, and soldiermen, and workmen. Yea thou knowest that
without these tools no king can put forth his capacity to rule. . .
It was for this I desired materials to govern with, that my ability
to rule might not be forgotten and hidden away. For every fac-
ulty and authority is apt to grow obsolete and ignored, if it be
without wisdom; and that which is clone in unwisdom can never
be reckoned as skill. This will I say — that I have sought to live
worthily the while I lived, and after my life to leave to the men
that come after me a remembering of me in good works."
Alfred fortified London 886, and carried on a defensive war
with the Danes 894-897, which ended in the withdrawal of the
invaders, and in which, by the aid of ships of improved model,
the English for the first time gained a decided naval advantage
over the vikings. His success against the Danes was due largely
to his reform of the national fyrd or militia, by which half the
force of each shire was always ready for military service. His
administration was also marked by judicial and educational reform.
He compiled a code of laws, rebuilt the schools and monasteries, and
invited scholars to his court. He was himself a man of learning"
and translated into Saxon the "Ecclesiastical History " of the Vener-
able Bede, the "Epitome of the Universal History " of Paulus
Orosius, and the "Consolations of Philosophy" by Boethius, and
corrected a translation of the " Dialogues " of Gregory the Great.
The popular accounts of his life abound in legends which are de-
void of historical foundation. He died Oct. 28, 1901.
34 Ethelfleda, oldest daughter of King Alfred the Great,
married Ethelred, Earl of Mercia, who was sub-king of Mercia,
he died in 912. An innovation, probably due to the energy, wis-
dom, and courage which she was known to possess, left her the
holder of an earldorman's authority, and she takes a place in his-
tory as " The Lady of Mercia." She ruled her land in perfect
accord with her brother, and furthered his plans by the erection
of fortresses at various points. The city of Chester, which had
been left desolate for three hundred years, became again a place
of strength to guard the north-west. Bridgenorth, Stamford,
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY 67
Tamworth, Warwick, Hertford, Witham (in Essex), and other
points were fortified with works of stone ; and not only were
Danish risings quelled, but the king and his sister made steady
encroachments on the dominion of the Danelagh. In 917 the
Lady took Derby, and in 918 she forced the garrison of Leices-
ter to surrender. In 920 her death came at Tamworth.
35. Elswiha, married Godwin, a nobleman of Wessex.
36. Leofwine, Earl of Leicester; m. and in 1017 became
Earl of Mercia; he died between 1024 and 1032 and his son Leo-
fric succeeded him as Earl of Mercia.
37. Leofric, in 1032 he succeeded his father in the earldom of
Mercia, which was at that time of less extent than the ancient
kingdom, for portions had been cut off to form inferior earldoms,
and though Leofric's superiority was no doubt recognized by
other earls, his immediate rule probably did not for many years
after he had received his father's earldom extend beyond Cheshire,
Staffordshire, Shropshire and the North Welsh border.
In 1051 Leofric received a summons from the king to come to
his help; for Godwine and his sons had taken up arms. He
marched with a small force to Gloucester, where Edward was,
but when he and the other earls who were on the king's side saw
how matters stood, they sent messengers through their earldoms
to raise all their forces. War seemed imminent, when Leofric in-
terposed, declaring that it would be folly for Englishmen to fight
with one another, and so lay their land open to the attack of a
foreign enemy; for the chiefest men of the country were in the
two armies. He advised, therefore, that both sides should give
hostages and should keep the peace, and the quarrel should be
decided at a future meeting of the witan; his advice was followed.
He died in Bromley, Staffordshire, Aug. 31, 1057.

Rev. BYRON Alden6 (16081), vol. II, p. 563, died at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Martha Wood, in Streator, 111., May 2, 1904.
"Father" Alden was born in Hinesburg, Vt., Nov. 5, 1806, son
of Rufus and Sally (White5) Alden. Although he had passed his
ninety-seventh birthday, he never lost his interest in things
around him and was out upon the street less than a week before
he was called home. On Sunday morning he heard the church
bells ring and saw the bright May sunshine streaming into his
room. "What a glorious day for the Sabbath!" he said. He
wanted to get up to see the people go to church, but that joy was
denied him. As the shadows began to gather with the "sunset
and the evening star," he murmured: "My beautiful Sabbath is
passing into eternity and I am going with it." He went out be-
fore the dawn broke again.
His boyhood days were spent in Hinesburg, and there, on Oct.
29, 1827, he married Sarah Ann, dau. of Joel Peck, b. in Hines-
burg, Jan. 15, 1805. Together they lived for fifty-four years,
Mrs. Alden dying February 1, 1881, just five weeks after they
settled in Streator. On each anniversary of her death for twenty-
one years he wrote her a poem of remembrance and love. When
a boy he became a member of the Methodist church and began to
prepare himself for its ministry. He was licensed to preach in
Nicholville, N. Y., admitted to trial in 1838, and ordained a min-
ister in 1841, by Bishop Waugh of the Methodist church. His
first assignment was the Hopkinton Charge, where he served
three years with success. For thirty years he was a circuit rider
and later resident preacher in northern New York, bringing
spiritual comfort and cheer to thousands. In 1870-1 he moved
from New York State to Illinois, settling in Woodstock, where
for ten years he preached for the united Methodist and Presby-
terian congregation at Greenwood, near Woodstock, then settled
in Streator in 1881, where he supplied successively for one year
each the churches at Gardner and Verona. Since then he had
no regular charge, but he preached frequently for pastors in the
92 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY
On his ninetieth birthday Mr. Alden gave a concert of song in the
Streator Methodist church, the selections being mainly of his own
composition, both words and music. In the earlier years of his min-
istry he possessed a rich tenor voice, which materially aided him
in his evangelistic work.
Upon the date of President McKinley's burial he was one of
the orators assigned to deliver a patriotic address to the school
pupils .
At the meeting of the Central Illinois conference in 1902 he
preached the conference sermon, speaking forty-five minutes with-
out faltering of voice and at the finish received many compliments
for his eloquence. "Father" Alden's last public appearance in the
pulpit in Streator was in September, 1904, just following the
annual conference which transferred their pastor, Rev. Mr. Bell,
to Galesburg. He was assigned to speak upon the work of the
church and what had been accomplished in the seven years of
Rev. Mr. Bell's administration there, and he was as clear, con-
secutive and forceful in thought as any of the younger ministers
who spoke upon that occasion.
His first presidential vote was for "Tippecanoe" Harrison in
1840, and he never missed the opportunity to cast a ballot for the
republican nominee — always a speaker and a worker for that
party.
" Father " Alden was the oldest of five children, all of whom
passed the age of eighty years, except his youngest
brother, Rev. Justin Thomas Alden, who died in Camden, N. Y.,
Aug. 29, 1864, aged forty-three. Of Rev. Mr. Alden's five chil-
dren all have passed away except two daughters, Mrs. Mary F.
Becker of Sacramento, Cal., and his youngest daughter, Mrs.
Martha Wood, at whose home he has been cheered and cared
for since the death of his wife.
RICHARD T. Giffin3 (9927), vol. II, p. 87, died in Minneapo-
lis, Minn., May 18, 1894. Mr. Giffin was born in Sutton, Vt.,
Mar. 13, 1828; married (1) Jan. 25, 1855, Betsey Tinker, born
May 19, 1835 ; she died and he married (2) Jane Wanbold, born
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY 93
July 15, 1848. He removed with his father from Sutton, to Mar-
low, N. H., where he settled on a farm. In 1866 he went west
and was for a time engaged in farming in Lake Park, Minn., and
later in Minneapolis.
HENRY Giffin8 (9929), vol. II, p. 87, died at his home in
Keene, N. H., April 27, 1904. He was born in Sutton. Vt.,
October 29, 1832, son of David and Mary (White7) Giffin; moved
with his parents to Marlow,N.H.when eighteen years of age; he was
employed on a farm in Marlow and vicinity, himself owning and
carrying on a farm there for a time. He married, February 24,
1858, Harriet S. Tinker, born in Lempster, N. H., April 18, 1839.
Mr. Giffin remained on his farm until 1866, when he moved into
the village, where he drove one of the late George Burnap's six
and eight horse teams, which used to freight between Marlow and
Keene before the days of railroads, and during that time learned
much about work horses, of which he was a good judge. In
1873 Mr. Giffin moved to Keene, and in 1879 engaged in the coal
business, which he has since carried on, becoming an extensive
dealer, and his teams have for a long time been the finest and
best equipped in the city
But, best of all, Mr. Giffin was the noblest work of God, an
honest man, with a large heart and a generous disposition, and
his kind acts will ever keep his memory fresh with those who
knew him best. He has always shown a deep interest in the re-
unions, and was one of the first to respond to an invitation of a
family gathering.
But it is in his family where he will be most keenly missed, by
her who has walked by his side for forty-six years and his only son,
George H., who was so closely connected with him in the busi-
ness as well as home life, also his two little grandsons will sadly
miss their play with grandpapa, for they were his delight as fail-
ing health confined him to the house; besides his wife, son and
family, he leaves a niece, Miss Hattie Whittemore, who has long
been in his family, a brother, Mr. Charles Giffin of Keene, and
two sisters, Mrs. George S. Goddard of Hinsdale, N. H., and
Mrs. Menzies Hartshorn of Tully, Mass.

White Family Quarterly.
VOLUME II. October, 1904. NUMBER IV.
"The Lord is good: a stronghold in the day of trouble."
KEZIAH HAflLIN BROOKS, 1804=1904.
WRITTEN BY HERBERT BROOKS, COLUMBUS, OHIO.
In looking back a century, knowing that at the beginning of it,
upon the site where Columbus now stands, there were but two
cabins and very little cleared ground, while now dwellings and
business houses are numbered by the thousands, you naturally
wonder and look for the causes that led up to this wonderful
transformation. Two ideas come into mind : What were the
forces used to build such a beautiful city, and who were the
builders ?
The land was chosen as a building site because of location upon
the banks of the Scioto River. Also because of its commanding
view of all the country which spread north, south and west into
a fertile valley. The land rises gradually, from the banks of the
river eastward until the summit of what was then called Wolf
Ridge (this name was often used by my father, David W. Brooks,
in his conversation bearing upon the early settlement of Colum-
bus, same having been used by his father, David Brooks) is
reached. Virgin forest crowned the top of the ridge with its
mighty, towering trees, and within its dense thicket, the gray
wolf, the terror of the settler, made his lair. For this reason, and
from the fact that the pioneers both at Franklinton and Colum-
bus hunted these animals to destroy them as matter of self pro-
tection, the name of Wolf Ridge was originally given to the place
where Columbus now stands.
98 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
One hundred and four years ago Nathaniel Hamlin and wife,
natives of New Jersey, reached the banks of the Scioto, and re-
solved there to build their home. He purchased the land now
occupied by, and round about where the Hoster plant is located.
The vicinity in after years became known as Prison Hill,
because the original penitentiary was built thereon. Lucas
Sullivant had surveyed and laid out Franklinton about three years
before, but on the east side of the river his only neighbor was an
Indian captive, John Brickell (his first cabin or hut was on the
west bank of the Scioto, a little north of where the Olentangy
empties into the former stream. He afterwards moved across
the river and occupied a plot of land near where the Ohio Peni-
tentiary now stands.)
In 1804, Oct. 16th, the subject of this sketch, Keziah Ham-
lin, the first white child born in the future city, saw the light of
day. The Hamlins had but recently erected their home, and
when Keziah was born the cabin had no doors or windows. In
order to keep howling, prowling wolves at bay by night, the fa-
ther closed the openings with quilts, blankets and skins which he
fixed firmly to the ground inside with heavy logs. Out of a ma-
ple sugar trough a cradle was improvised, and in that cradle she
was rocked a thousand times by the happy mother who hummed
a lullaby, alone in the mighty forest.
In connection with the early life of Keziah, the following In-
dian story is told in Howe's History of Ohio : —
" At this time a tribe of Wyandot Indians were located near a
bend in the river just below the present Harrisburg bridge.
They were friendly to the Hamlins, and were especially fond of
Mrs. Hamlin's freshly baked bread. On bread baking days they
would come into the cabin, and lifting aside the curtain which
served as a door, enter and help themselves to the contents of
the larder without asking permission or saying a word to the oc-
cupants. Upon leaving they would throw a haunch of vension
or whatever game they had upon the floor as a compensation, and
then silently take their departure.
"One day when Mrs. Hamlin was attending to her household
duties with nobody present save her infant daughter, who was
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. 99
calmly sleeping in her crib, several of the Indians entered the
cabin and without saying a word deliberately took up the sleep-
ing infant and carried her away with them to their village, leav-
ing Mrs. Hamlin trembling with fear and anxiety for the safety
of her child.
As the hours passed by and the child was not returned, she
suffered the greatest anguish and suspense, until the close of the
day her sufferings were much relieved by the reappearance of the
Indians bringing with them the child, which wore a beautiful pair
of beaded moccasins upon her feet which the Indians had been
industriously working upon all day and had felt the necessity of
having the child with them so as to insure a perfect fit. This
token of the appreciation of the savage race for the kindness and
hospitality shown them by the early pioneers was preserved un-
til a few years ago, but was unfortunately destroyed by one of
the family then too young to appreciate their value." (Howe's
Historical Collections of Ohio, Vol. I, page 660.)
The conditions surrounding the early childhood of this girl
were characteristic of the lives of all our pioneers. The every
day struggle for life and existence, the toil and hardship sustained
through the long dreary days of winter, the clearing of the forest,
the building of the roads by the men, and the cares of the house-
hold attended by the women, all of this gave strength to the body
and clearness to the mind. It is from these families that a
strong, and sturdy race of people have come. They have
builded cities, and carved out a state that to day is honored
among the union of states and a credit to the nation.
In her father's cabin, surrounded by such comforts and pleas-
ures as a fast growing village could afford, Keziah Hamlin grew
to womanhood. During this time families in quest of lands and
homes were coming in rapidily from Massachusetts, Virginia,
Pennsylvania, and a few from Connecticut, and now Columbus
could boast of nearly three hundred inhabitants.
In 1817, David Brooks came to Ohio from the state of Massa-
chusetts to seek his fortune. His family had taken root in Con-
cord near Boston away back in 1636. His father and grand-
father had fought in the French and Indian wars, also in the
100 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
patriotic ranks under Washington during the war of the Revolu-
tion. Young Brooks met and married, December 19th, 1822,
the pioneer's daughter, then a girl of less than twenty. It was
but a few months until David Brooks and his young wife were
owners and kept the popular tavern, known as the " Sign of the
White Horse," which stood where the Odd Fellows' Temple is
now situated.
The pair made an ideal host and hostess of the early period.
He met his guests at the curb and his wife made them feel at
home. Among the friends of early days who made this hostelry
their abiding place were the Merions, Ambroses, McGowns,
Hunters, Livingstons, Becks, Spragues, Jewetts, Goodales, and
so on. The majority of these families were from the home
state of Massachusetts. It was not an uncommon thing for
families from the same states east, to form close ties of friend-
ship and to be of the same social circle, when thus thrown
together facing trials and hardships of the frontier, help of any
kind being tendered in time of need and necessity. The ledger
kept during that period by the proprietor of the White Horse
will bravely testify to some accounts then long past clue and still
unpaid. Nevertheless the couple prospered, and the wife was a
constant helpmeet to her husband, and a friend to all the coun-
try round. The first hard blow that entered in the home
was the death of the father and husband in the year 1848, leav-
ing a family of three sons and two daughters.
How well the mother performed her part to keep the children
together, to raise them, and to give them such an education as
the times could afford, need not be mentioned here. Suffice it
to say that a woman born in the forest, enured to dangers and
trials attendant upon same, would not flinch from her duty, when
brought to it face to face.
Keziah Hamlin Brooks died in Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 4th, 1875.
She was a woman of remarkably strong character. She was faith-
ful and true to the many friends of her day, and during her entire
life her faith in the Christian way of living was exemplified by
her many acts of kindness and charity. She was buried from St.
Paul's Episcopal church then located on the corner of Third and
Mound streets. The services were conducted by the rector,
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. 101
Rev. R. W. Grange, who made impressive remarks concerning the
life and history of the deceased. He spoke of her later years, which
she devoted greatly to her church duties. She always took a
great interest in the Pioneer Association. Quite a number of
this association were in attendance at the services. The pall-
bearers were all members of the early surviving families of her
day, being J. E. St. Clair, C. P. L. Butler, N. Merion, Justin
Morrison, John Otstot, Lincoln Kilbourne, and Wra. H. Slade.
After the ceremony at the church, a large number of friends and
relatives followed the hearse to Green Lawn, and there her body
lies by the side of her husband within sight of the spot where
she was born.
The following letter was written by David Brooks to his wife
Keziah from Princeton, Mass. He frequently returned there,
though at that time the journey was long and filled with danger.
The trip had to be made overland by horseback or horse and buck-
board through the then almost unsettled country.
Princeton, Mass., April 20th, 1828.
My Dear : —
I have arrived safe at home, and had a pleasant journey, and
find my friends here are all well and pleased to see me. We ar-
rived here on Wednesday last. Mr. Francis was in good spirits,
and has gone on to his father's. I went yesterday to see Milton
Brooks, and found him in pretty good health for him. He
wishes to go back to the State of Ohio, but I don't think he will
live to get back. Mrs. Boylston intends sending you a fashion-
able bonnet and cap by me when I return. I think I shall set
out for home about the first of May.
Yours affectionately,
DAVID BROOKS.

The following letter received six years after the demise of Mr.
Brooks, was written by a young lady school teacher from Ware-
ham, Mass., who had been employed as instructor to the children
in the family. It was no doubt intended to console the widow,
also to cheer her and to brighten some of the hours that must
have been filled with sorrowful thoughts of the past. She had

become attached to the children for she ailudes in two places to
the son David and in another to son Henry. It is an interesting
communication, having been written just fifty years ago. It shows
that the young woman was perfectly capable of filling such a
position.

Dearest Friend : —
Although year after year has passed since last we met, they
have not proved years of forgetfulness, and often, very often, do
I call to mind your many acts of kindness. Often I fancy myself
at your side, breathing into your ears tales of disappointments, of
sorrow, and of hope — this is when memory is busy with the past.
Often I wonder why you did not answer my last communication.
I cannot think you have forgotten me. It must be that many
cares is a sufficient apology, — but David — what has become of
him ? Could he not stir memories' fount sufficient to call up
some past times of sufficient interest to trace a few lines to an
old friend ? Perhaps some young fair beings occupy his better
thoughts, his better wishes. As to my wonderful self, I have
little to say. I have seen much sickness and sorrow, at times
have tired of life — and again life is sweet, and surely you have
drank of sorrow to its very dregs ; but Hope, that bright star, is
still before you, although at times its light is near extinguished.
I am not writing to-day thinking to interest or amuse you, but
to beg you to tell me of everything that interests you. Then
should you see fit to answer this scrawl, I will write a long letter,
even so long as to tire you I think. David must be a good boy,
and Henry is there, another spared, to write and tell me.
I am teaching a school for young men in this town. Last
Thursday I was in Boston. I write fast for the church bell calls
and I must go Were I to tell you Lassie Strain is an author you
would say this scribble does her no credit. Nor does it. But,
dear Mrs. Brooks, if I stop to write a handsome letter I should
not write for want of time. In the last three weeks I have written
over one hundred and fifty pages for publication, besides teaching
all day, and in the evening I have seven young men under my
care from seven to half past eight P. M. Nor have I one female
pupil in my day school. I will send you a copy of some poetry

that I wrote for Jenny Lind — that world-renowned songstress —
if you will pardon me for not copying it. Take it as it is, and
you are welcome.
Most respectfully,

1. HENRY Brooks was made freeman in Concord, Mass.,
March 14, 1639. Lived there a few years before this. Was born in
England. Said to have come from London. Probably sailed from
Cheshire district in which Liverpool is situated. (I believe him
to be brother of Thomas Brooks, who was made freeman in Con-
cord, December 7, 1636. Afterward moved to Watertown and
owned Es't. at Medford, also brother of John Brooks, who was
about this time one of the early settlers of New Haven, Conn.)
Henry Brooks came to Woburn from Concord, and was proprietor
of land there near "Horn Pond," January 10, 1652 ; selectman

Journal " said of him editorially :
" In the death of David W. Brooks Columbus has lost one of
her representative and progressive citizens. He learned the
printing trade in this office with General Comly and afterward
made a success of life. He was also a valuable man in public
affairs, notably in building the present city prison, when he was
Police Commissioner, and in adopting a business system at the
Central Insane Asylum, when he was its resident director. He
was not only one who had done much for Columbus, but also for
his State.
Mr. Brooks was born in this city February 22, 1828, at the site
of the Odd Fellows' Temple, where his father kept a tavern with
the sign of the 'White Horse.' His mother was Keziah Hamlin
and was the first white child born in Columbus. Mr. Brooks be-
gan at the bottom of the ladder, and by energy and close attention
to business amassed quite a fortune. He was in turn a clerk in
the post-office, Deputy Clerk of the Supreme Court, clerk in the
County Auditor's office, and held the office of County Clerk for
a time by appointment of the County Commissioners. For a
great many years he was in the grocery business with Nathaniel
Merion and occupied the site at the southeast corner of High and
Chapel street. He was at one time member of the Board of
Police Commissioners by appointment, and was in great measure
responsible for the movement which resulted in the erection of
the present City Prison, being one of the projectors of the same,

along with DeWitt C. Jones and George F. O'Harra. He was
one of the trustees of the Asylum for the Insane under Governor
Bishop. The bank of which Mr. Brooks was president was or-
ganized in 1869, though the present firm was formed at a later
day.
He was a Knight Templar Mason and was a member of St.
Paul's Episcopal Church. The funeral will take place from the

110 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
A TALE FOR THE CHILDREN.
(I do not recall the original title of the following poem, although
the words, which I learned some fifty years ago, were forcibly
brought to my mind by the Indian story on p. 98. As near as I
can recall, it was learned from a stray leaf of the Youth's Com-
panion.— Ed.
Away in the distant forest,
Where men like beasts were wild,
A white man built his cabin,
And dwelt with his wife and child.
The smoke of the nearest wigwam,
Rose up just o'er the hill,
It was hung with the skins of the panther,
The proofs of the hunter's skill.
'T was the home of a lonely Indian,
With painted face and grim,
Who boasted his scars of battle,
A score on every limb.
The white spoke Ta-he-yer kindly
And offered his plow to lend,
For he feared the stalwart savage
And gladly would make him friend.
One morning the white man early
To the distant town had gone,
Leaving his wife and daughter
At home in the wood alone.
Scarce peeped little Ida's bright eyes
Through their fringes of silk,
She had lisped her simple prayer
And drank her basin of milk,
When, sudden a dark, broad shadow,
Fell in at the open door,
Blent with the summer sunshine,
Crossing the sanded floor.
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. Ill
How trembled the pale-cheeked mother,
And clasped her babe to her breast,
But smiled Ta-he-yer good morning,
And listened his strange request.
He spoke with stateliest gesture,
And made her to know his will ;
He would take the prattling Ida
To his home beyond the hill.
Up to the sun he pointed,
Now in its eastern track,
Saying when it sank to the westward
He would bring little Ida back.
The mother grew even paler,
Her heart felt deadly cold ;
But she dare not rouse the anger
Of the redman stern and bold.
And kissing her precious daughter,
She tied on her hood like snow,
And gave to the arms of Ta-he-yer ;
And Ida was pleased to go.
All day with praying and weeping,
She wandered from place to place,
Awaiting her husband's coming
And longing for Ida's face.
The sun went down on the hill-top,
The mother grew almost wild,
When joy, she spied in the distance,
Ta-he-yer bringing her child.
Nearer they came, and pointing
Her baby finger of rose,
" Mamma," said the little one gaily,
" See, Ida has pretty shoes."
The thankful mother espied them,
As hasting her child to meet,
112 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
A pair of moccasins bright wrought,
Fitting the tiny feet.
Ida patted the dark scarred bosom,
As it had a thousand charms,
And murmuring, " Good Uncle Ta-he-yer,
She sprang from his yielding arms.
And many a day thereafter,
When Ida had older grown,
Ta-he-yer sat in his wigwam
On the hillside not alone.
For he taught the child to dye baskets,
With osier and goklenrod,
She taught him to read his Bible,
And pray to the Great True God.

Girardeau, Mo., and other points. His health
breaking down, he was discharged Sept. 11, 1862,

the front, along their line, drew their fire ; in a
blaze of musketry he attempted to gain our lines,
whirled his horse, bent low in the saddle, and in the
act received a terrible wound — similar to that re-
ceived by Gen. Philip Kearney at Chantilly, Va.,
the ball lodging in the thigh bone. After eleven
weary days of suffering in ambulance and transport,
he was placed in the St. James Hospital, New Or-

moved to his home in Pittsfield, enduring all the
time excruciating agony. Here, at his urgent re-
quest, a surgical operation was performed, which he
well knew meant death ; the ball was removed from
the marrow of the thigh, and while dying, at his re-
quest, it was placed in his hands. With a smile on
his handsome face he expired, July 13, 1864.

(301) " Descendants of John White," Vol. I, p. 50) Hartwell. She

WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. 125
Mrs. Carter was much interested in genealogical work, was the
author of the "Carter Genealogy," and had also done much val-
uable work on other old families of Lancaster and Leominster.
Her loss will be deeply felt by many who knew her only through
her work, as well as by her personal friends. She leaves one son,
Robert L. Carter of Leominster, and a step-son, Alfred F. Carter
of Sherborn, Mass., who have the heartfelt sympathy of all in
their deep bereavement.
Rev. Andrew Dunn of Royalston, Mass., husband of Martha
Ann Gerry8 (5398), Vol. I, p. 61, died July 13, 1901, aged 88 years.
He was born in Gardner, Mass., June 15, 1813, son of Vinal and
Dolly (Whitney) Dunn. He was sixteen years of age when he
was converted and united with the Baptist church in Weston,
Mass. Very soon after he had the conviction that he was called
of God to preach the Gospel. So fully persuaded was he that
this was his duty, that he began to study and prepare himself for
his life work under the instruction of Judge Mellen of Wayland,
and his pastor, Rev. T. R. Ropes. Having to depend on his own
resources, he taught school to secure a competency to defray his
expenses until he was well fitted to enter Newton Theological
Seminary, Sept., 1839. He was licensed to preach by the church
in Weston, Sept. 11, 183S ; graduated from Newton in 1842 ; was
called to the Baptist church in Winchendon, Mass., where he was
ordained Aug. 20, 1842, remaining ten years. Subsequently he
served the following churches : Holden, North Bridgewater,
Weymouth, Chatham, Still River, Harvard, East Gloucester,
East Haverhill, Rowell, West Newbury and East Brookfield,
Mass., also in Fitzwilliam, N. H. His last pastorate was in Roy-
alston, where he served the church for five years ; the last ten
years of his life he was unable to preach. Mr. Dunn married
first Sophia L. Williams of Newton. He married second, June
10, 1890, Mrs. Martha A. (Gerry) Wheeler of Royalston, who
cheered his declining years and faithfully cared for him in his last
illness. This faithful servant of the Lord served his Redeemer
for a half century in actual labor in the ministry ; was a man of
deep conviction, a devout, earnest, spiritual minded and enthusi-
astic preacher of the Gospel. Besides his wife, one of his two
sons survive him.

Rev. GEORGE Sumner Ball7 (18818), Vol. II, p. 31, died in
Upton, Mass., Sept. 5, 1902. He was born in Leominster, Mass.,
May 22, 1822, son of Micah and Rachel (Lincoln) Ball ; his father
was a deputy sheriff and also ran the first stage line from Wor-
cester to Fitchburg, Mass. His early life was one of hard work
and many privations. Aside from the common school he received
but little education. At the age of sixteen he bought his time
and by hard personal effort succeeded in entering Meadville The-
ological School, where he graduated in 1847, with the first class
ever sent out from that institution ; and was ordained at Ware,
Mass., Oct. 13, 1847. He remained there two years, then settled
in Upton. Chaplain Ball was one of the most widely-known
veterans of the Civil War. In the 21st regiment and again in
the 36th, he proved himself to be the friend of the soldiers ; from
Nov 28, 1861, at Annapolis, through the battlefields of Roanoke,
Camden and Chantilly, he rendered notable service to his country.
Besides his service in the army, he was in Plymouth two years,
yet he always counted Upton as his home. His pastorate over
the Unitarian parish at West Upton covered a period of more
than forty years, having been regularly installed in February,
1850. Mr. Ball was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention
in 1853 ; in 1861 he was elected representative to the general
court, came home from the army and was present at its organi-
zation ; was re-elected in 1862, but resigned. In 1863 he served
as Chaplain of the house, was a member of it in 1864 and 1866,
and in 1867 was elected to the senate. He married, in Ware,
June 18, 1848, Hannah B. Nourse of Bolton, Mass.; to them
were born eight children ; of these, besides the mother, three
daughters and two sons survive. The news that Chaplain Ball
was mustered out occasioned sincere sorrow in Grand Army
circles throughout the state ; he was in a regiment which made a
glorious record, and part of the honor belonged to Upton's grand
old man.
G FORGE Albert Rowlandson0 (4864), Vol. I, p. 415, of Mt.
Vernon, N. Y., died at Rye Beach, Long Island, N. Y., Aug. 15,
1904. He was born in Mt. Vernon, Oct. 11, 1870, son of Oscar
S. and Charlotte (Hopping) Rowlandson. He was a bookkeeper
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. 127
in the home office of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company,
New York City. On Sunday he went to Rye Beach with sev-
eral members of his family and having such a good time decided
to stay until Monday night ; and on Monday afternoon while
swimming about he started for the shore, but when in about four
feet of water was seen to throw up his hands and, without a cry,
sink under the surface. They immediately went to his rescue
and recovered the body without any difficulty. A doctor was
called but found that his efforts were useless, and said that he
had evidently been killed from an attack of heart trouble, which
it was known he was subject to. Mr. Rowlandson was one of
the leading members of the 71st New York regiment at the out-
break of the Spanish war. When the news of the declaration of
war was received, he volunteered his services, which were ac-
cepted ; and when the regiment left, on May 4, 1898, for Camp
Black, Long Island, he was one of the men who marched down
Fifth avenue in its ranks, and when at Tampa, Fla., he made
many friends among the members of different regiments waiting
there for transportation to the Island He took part in the bat-
tles of San Juan Hill and El Caney, on July 23, or just before the
fall of Santiago ; he was foraging with a party of nine men and
was cut off from the American column by a band of Insurgents ;
these men held a hill against an overwhelming force for eleven
days. It was while thus defending the hill that he contracted
yellow fever and he was reported missing from his command. In
the meantime he had been sent north on one of the hospital ships
and reached his home, where by careful nursing he recovered
some degree of his former health. In the death of Mr. Rowland-
son, is lost an only son and brother, also the last male member
in the ninth generation of the descendants of Rev. Joseph and
Mary (White) Rowlandson, his father now being the last to bear
the name.

Mr. Page of Fitchburg, Mass. In 1857 he succeeded his brother
and continued the business successfully ; was also manager and
treasurer of the gas light company until 1902, when he gave up
active business. Mr. Lane was a man of strong convictions, and
a shrewd business man ; his integrity was never for a moment
questioned ; he took deep interest in municipal affairs and his ad-
vice was often sought because of his wide range of knowledge
and good judgment. He served the town as a member of the
water board, moderator at town meetings, selectman, and in many
other capacities, being representative in 1868, also special com-
missioner of Worcester County. He was a republican, member

This report showed a deficit of $29.42. The secretary ex-
plained that $25.00 of this deficit was for Association badges that
had been delivered since the meeting of 1903. After this ex-
planation the Association voted to accept the report.
Special Committees : The committee to ascertain if a favor-
able reply would be given to the Petition to " The Cemetery Com-
mittee of Lancaster," as adopted at the meeting of 1903, made
their report by reading the letter received from the Committee.
The chairman of the Committee, J. F. White of Somerville,
prefaced the report with the statement that the writing of that
letter was almost the last work clone by the Hon. Henry S.
Nourse, and that in his death the '« Association of the Descend-
ants of John White " lost the best friend that they had in the
old town of Lancaster. The letter was as follows :
South Lancaster, Mass., Nov. 1, 1903.
Mr. John F. White,
Assistant Secretary of the " Association of the Descendants of
John White of Lancaster."
Dear Sir : —
The cemetery committee of Lancaster, Mass., at a regular
monthly meeting this day held, considered your communication
of October 28, ult., requesting permission u to set within the
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. 3
limits of the Old Cemetery a Memorial to our ancestors," and it
was unanimously voted to grant the request. It is mutually un-
derstood that the said Memorial in its location, material, style and
inscription, must be subjeet to the approval of said Cemetery
Committee.
By order of the Cemetery Committee of Lancaster,
HENRY S. NOURSE,
Secretary.
Report accepted by vote and ordered put upon the records.
Remarks were made by President White, Mr. J. H. Leavitt of
Waterloo, Iowa, Miss Myra L. White and others, as to the
character of the proposed Memorial. It was finally voted, on
motion of Mr. J. H. Leavitt, "That a committee be appointed by
the chair to consider the matter, and if the condition of the
treasury would warrant, to complete the work, otherwise to report
at the next annual meeting." Then the chair appointed as that
committee :
John F. White, Somerville.
George A. White, Franklin Park.
Charles S. Houghton, Leominster.
Miss Myra L. White, Haverhill.
Good of the Association :
Mr. Horace White of Richville, N. Y., mildly criticized
the methed of notification of the time and place of the
meeting, and urged that a more extended notice be given next
year, even to the sending of individual notices. Others spoke on
the same general line. The secretary then took the floor and
spoke energetically in her own defense, calling attention to the
vast amount of work that she had willingly done in the years past
for the Association, in the putting out of the twenty-five hundred
or more notices to individuals and families, in the effort to obtain
a large attendance at the annual gathering. That the results had
not been in any measure commensurate to the labor involved,
either to the Association or to herself in the effort to sell the
first and second volumes of her book. That she had decided that
she could no longer give so much of her time with so little result.
That she was doing genealogical work for others now to pay
4 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
necessary expenses. And urging that the members of the fam-
ilies, near and far, would give larger support to the Quarterly,
that her work on that line might be carried forward, or that must
be abandoned. Mr. Horace White disclaimed any thought to add
to the already arduous labor of the secretary, but hoped that some
measure would be taken to bring together a larger number of the
family. Several spoke at some length upon the matter, the prepon-
derance of sentiment being in favor of notices sent to members.
President White said if the secretary would furnish him with the
mail list, that he would see that such notice was duly made. It
was regularly voted that card notices be sent next year. Dinner
having been announced, recess was ordered until 2 P. M.
At the appointed hour the President called the Association to
order and announced that the first number on the after dinner
program would be a vocal selection by Mrs. Sara M. Haley of
South Lee, N. H. The selection rendered by Mrs. Haley was
very cordially received, as was evidenced by the abundance of
applause.
Mr. J. H. Leavitt moved that from this date the annual dues
be one dollar for men and fifty cents for women. Considerable
discussion followed this motion, but when the vote was taken the
motion was declared carried. Then the chair requested that the
Register be read. It was brought forward to the table and read
by the assistant secretary.
At this time President White left the chair and taking the
floor made a very strong, earnest appeal for financial aid for Miss
Myra White's present need, and equally strong appeal for aid
along the line of the printing of the third volume and ending his
remark with this magnificent offer: That he would pay the en-
tire expense of printing the third volume. That he would pre-
sent to her two hundred copies. That he would keep for himself
fifty copies, on which he proposed later to make some money.
That he would hold for her the other two hundred and fifty copies
subject to her order, and that the cost to her should be only the
actual cost to him of each book. Prolonged applause followed
the President's earnest speech. The President, having resumed
the chair, requested the assistant secretary to pass through the
audience and receive such subscription as the friends were ready
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. 5
to make for the benefit of Miss White and also subscription for
the third volume.
The report showed :
Cash subscriptions . . . . . . . $70 00
Two subscriptions for third volume . . . . 10 00
Miss Myra thanked the friends for their response to the appeal
in a few well chosen words.
Mr. Horace White, with his kindly face beaming with good
will for the Association, moved the nomination of the present
board of officers. Mr. J. H. Leavitt seconded the nomination
and put the vote. The vote was unanimously in favor and Mr.
Leavitt declared the following officers duly elected :
President — John B. White, Kansas City, Mo.
Vice Pres. — George S. Houghton, Reading, Mass.
Vice Pres. — Joseph H. White, Antwerp, N. Y.
Vice Pres. — Lucius A. Warner, Beacon Falls, Ct.
Vice Pres. — Hon. John W. Kimball, Fitchburg, Mass.
Vice Pres. — John F. White, Somerville, Mass.
Vice Pres. — Mrs. Sarah A. Morrison, Tidioute, Pa.
Vice Pres. — Henry R. Smith, Leominster, Mass.
Vice Pres. — Henry D. White, Grand Valley, Pa.
Vice Pres. — Charles H. White, Grandin, Mo.
Vice Pres. — Milo S. Harrington, Westminster, Mass.
Treasurer — George A. White, Franklin Park, Mass.
Secretary — Miss Myra L. White, Haverhill, Mass.
Mr. Horace White stated that on a recent visit to the "Old
Abbey " in Leominster, the occupant suggested that the "Whites "
meet there at some time in the future, so Mr. White moved that
the next meeting be at the "Old Abbey". The motion was de-
clared carried. Miss Myra White suggested that it would be
especially appropriate to have an " historical address " onjosiah
White 's Te?i Sons. President White appointed John F. White
of Somerville to prepare the address, and Miss Myra volunteered
to furnish the necessary data. It was voted that the date of the
meeting be left with the executive committee. No further busi-
ness being offered for the consideration of the meeting, President
White invited Mr. Horace White of Richville to come forward
b WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
and favor the Association with the recitation that made such an
excellent impression one year ago. Mr. White kindly responded
and gave the recitation " How can we lift them up," in his own
inimitable way. The hearty applause that followed, showed how
the friends present appreciated this effort of our young old
friend. Voted to adjourn subject to the call of the executive
committee.

MARY Ann Lincoln8 (43a) b. in Leominster, Mass., Aug. 3,
1806 ; and now living in the home of her birth. I am indebted
to the Leominster Enterprise for the following interesting sketch
of Miss Lincoln : —
" Passing the allotted age of threescore and ten as swiftly as
time itself, Miss Mary Ann Lincoln has since gathered birthdays
like a cluster of sweet-smelling flowers. Today she attains the
remarkable age of 98, making her the oldest person in town, old-
est in years and oldest in nativity, for she was born and has since
lived in the little old-fashioned house on Union street where this
afternoon many friends, neighbors and acquaintances dropped in
to extend their cheer and compliments.
The house was built in 1774 by her grandfather, William Lin-
coln. The architecture represents a custom long since obsolete,
the posting being low, the windows small and the chimney large.
Miss Lincoln is surrounded by many that to her are priceless
24 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
heirlooms of her ancestry which keep her in touch with memories
which are both joyful and sad.
Miss Lincoln's father began life in the old house when he was
5 years old. Her parents were married in the room in which she
was born, which is in the southeast corner of the house. In the
hallway is grandfather's clock, which chronicled the hour of these
two important events. The marriage took place in 1797 ; the
birth occurred Aug. 3, 1806, when Leominster was nothing more
than a hamlet.
Miss Lincoln says she does not know how old the clock is.
She associates it with her infancy and in childhood frequently
heard her parents allude to it as dating back to their own younger
days. It is of very ancient style, made of wood and run by
weights These are lifted when the clock is wound, the cords to
which they are attached revolving backwards on the roll by means
of a spring which then winds the cord.
In responding to questions as to her personal life, Miss Lincoln
declared with a smile that ' she could not see why anything pub-
lished about her could be of especial public interest. To be sure,
she had lived almost a century, but there are others equally old.'
She has not followed any particular rule of living to produce
longevity.
Until recent years Miss Lincoln has passed her entire time at
the old homestead. Lately, however, she has spent the winter
with a nephew, George Lincoln, who lives close by. She does
this because it is difficult to heat the old house in the good old-
fashioned way that is now considered insufficient for a woman 98
years old.
Miss Lincoln is by no means a recluse ; neither is she yet
'laid on the shelf.' She was among the most interested persons
present at the recent dedication- of the new Unitarian church, of
which society she is a member, and in which she was active in
her younger clays. She has listened to all the ministers of the
church except the first one, Rev. John Rogers.
Her story of the inconveniences and hardships attending divine
worship 75 years ago is peculiarly interesting. The degree of
warmth depended upon the weather. Miss Lincoln is the only
living charter member of the Ladies' Benevolent society con-
nected with the church. She was for years a teacher in the Sun-
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. 25
day school, many of her scholars now being gray-haired men and
women.
She remembers the old Unitarian church that once stood on
the common, in front of where now is the drug store of Charles
F. Nixon. She has a wide acquaintance, and says she believes
there is not another person in Leominster who has so many
nephews and nieces as she, for nearly everybody who knows her
calls her Aunt Mary Ann, and she likes it, too.
Miss Lincoln recollects when she went to a school in a little
old school house on Franklin street, known as No. 8, and to her
home was more than a mile, she recalls that she passed only two
houses on the road, where on the same ground there are now
more than 100 nice houses.
She was one of a family of six children, three boys and three
girls, and is the last one of the family, having lived a score of
years longer than any of her brothers and sisters. Miss Lincoln
has all of her mental faculties in remarkable condition, and can
now write as good a letter as most of the young people of the
present generation.
Miss Lincoln feels that it is an honor to say that she is the old-
est person in Leominster, and was born in the house in which
she has passed so many years.
She keeps busy kniting, while she pays considerable attention
to reading and goes out driving frequently. She greatly enjoys
going about and calling upon the companions of her younger days.
She talks very interestingly of early Leominster when in a remin-
iscent mood, for she has seen the town grow from a few hundred
inhabitants to having a population exceeding 15,000.
Miss Lincoln bids fair to live to be 100. Her health is good
and she lives a contented life at the old home, where she receives
her friends with a charm and grace which makes them feel that
they are welcome, indeed."

OBITUARY.
JONATHAN Grout SheparcP (8273), p. 716, Vol I. "Descend-
ants of John White", died in South Deerfield, Mass., Oct. 12,
1904, aged 83 years. Mr. Shepard was born in Buckland, Mass.,
Aug. 18, 1821; married in 1850, Theta Phila Scott of Phelps, N.Y.
He was for many years an overseer in a cotton mill in Chicopee,
Mass., but later living upon a farm. Mrs. Shepard died Feb., 1899.
Mrs. ANNA Eliza (Shepard) Page (8276), p. 706, Vol. I., died in
South Deerfield, Mass., Apr. 30, 1904. Mrs. Page was born in
Buckland, Mass., May 20, 1829; she married George S. Page, who
died in 1898.
Andrew Lucian Houghton Fitch, husband of Abbie F. Wheeler8
(9042), p. 18, Vol. II., died in Maplewood, Mo., Nov. 2, 1904, at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. John Craig. Mr. Fitch was born
in Lancaster, Mass., Jan. 28, 1837, son of George and Sophronia
Willard (Houghton) Fitch; he married (1) Apr. 29, 1860, Abbie
F. Wheeler; they lived in Sterling, Mass., where she died Mar. 21,
1893. He married (2) Sept. 19, 1894, Minnie G. dau. of Langs-
ford8 and Elvira (Everett) Harrington (5605), p. 482, Vol. I.,) of
Princeton, Mass. He leaves beside his wife, three children, Nel-
lie E., wife of Fred W. Kendall of Sterling, Caroline L., wife of
John Craig of Maplewood, and George A. Fitch of Sterling.
Horace White8 (7709), p. 654, Vol. I., died at his home in Rich-
ville, town of Dekalb, N Y., Nov. 18, 1904. Mr. White
was born in Dekalb, June 29, 1828; married Mar. 6, 1850, Clarissa
P. Lake, born July 16, 1830; she died in Richville, Apr. 28, 1902.
He was educated in the district schools of Dekalb and the Wes-
lyan Seminary of Gouverneur, N.Y.; most of his life was spent
upon the farm where he died, which is now occupied by his young-
est son and his family; and his home life was ideal. Mr. and Mrs.
White were possessed of the true secret of hospitality and under-
stood making guests feel they were truly welcome, and no one
who shared their home, where love seemed the ruling power, could
forget the feeling of true rest it gave.
Although advanced in years no one thought of Mr. White as
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. 31
old. Few of his age had so many friends among the young peo-
ple. His life was not only long but very happy. He found his
happiness in doing good to others. Mr. White was a member of
the Association of the "Descendants of John White;" it is but a
few months since he met with us and it seems sad indeed that we
shall never more see his beaming face or listen to bis pleasant
voice; those who heard him will never forget the vigor and spirit
with which he recited those inspiring words, "How can we lift
them up." His character was beautiful, he never allowed an un-
kind word to pass his lips and all who knew him were his friends.
Unselfishness was a part of his nature and wherever he went was
sunshine and good will; his own happiness was found in planning
the happiness of others. He loved to hear words of praise, not
words of censure. His warm and gentle nature, his cheerfulness,
generosity and devotion to duty endeared him to a host of friends
who will long cherish his memory. Well may it be said of him
as has been said of others, "If everyone to whom he has done a
kind act should lay a rose upon his bier, he would sleep tonight un-
der a wilderness of flowers." Mr. White had a long and honor-
able history in masonry for twenty-five years ; he was the mas-
ter mason of Richville lodge, and several years ago he was the
district deputy master for the district. In Dec 1866, he joined
the St. Lawrence Commandry at Canton, N.Y., and in 1903 he
joined the Scottish Rites at Rochester Consistory. He was a
32nd degree mason and if he had lived until December he would
have been crowned with the highest degree in masonry. The
committal charge at the grave was impressively spoken by J.
Hungerford Smith of Rochester when the body was consigned to
its final resting place. This honor was given Mr. Smith because
of his life long and intimate friendship with the deceased. Mr.
White had made his father a master mason and all of his five sons
and had been invited to bestow the master's degree upon Mr.
Smith's son in December. Mr. White is survived by two sons,
J. Stuart White, a lumber man of Omaha, Neb., and Chapman V.
White of Richville, and three granddaughters.
PHINEAS Dodge8 (2669), p. 225, Volume I, died at his home
in Millwood, Rowley, Mass., Dec. 4, 1904, aged nearly 98 years.
32 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
He was the son of Solomon and Betsey (Pickard) Dodge, born in
Rowley, Feb. 26, 1807; married in Georgetown, Mass., Dec. 22,
1829, Sophia, dau. of Jeremy and Eunice (Stickney) Chaplain,
born in Rowley, Feb. 28, 1809. They lived together nearly sixty
years, she dying Dec. 26, 1888. Mr. Dodge was a farmer and
miller, he and his sons owning an old fashioned saw mill which
has been in the family more than one hundred years, being used
for sawing ship timber. He was a man of great strength and
energy; a high sense of honor, of independant mind and marked
kindness to his neighbors. In his death Rowley loses her oldest
citizen. He leaves two sons, Ignatius S. Dodge of Georgetown,
and P. Alphonso Dodge of Rowley, and one daughter, Betsie P.
Dodge, who cared for her father in his declining years.

THOMAS M. PUTNAM.
Thomas M. Putnam, husband of Eunice L. (Cram8) Putnam
(4281) Vol. I, p. 373, died at his home in Dan vers, Mass., June
9, 1897. He was born in Danvers, " Putnamville ", Sept 15,
1817, son of Samuel and Mary (Herrick) Putnam, he was one of
thirteen children ; nine of whom lived to middle life and five
passed the allotted age of man. He received his education in
the schools of his native town and the academy in Pembroke,
N. H. In early manhood he worked first in his father's shoe
factory, later for his uncle Moses ; Moses and Samuel Putnam
being pioneers in this branch of industry in Essex county.
Afterward he was in business for himself ; first having a leather
store in Boston, later he manufactured shoes in his father's old
factory in Putnamville for some years. In 1861 he removed to
Danvers Plains, and in '63 he moved to his home on Maple street
where he died. For some years, after leaving Putnamville, he
was in the produce business, later a dealer in nursery stock, but
for several years before his death he had not been in any regular
business.
He married Sept. 17, 1843, Mrs. Eunice L. (Cram) Perkins of
Hampton Falls, N H., with whom he lived nearly 54 years.
Amid all the changing scenes of their married life, its many
vicissitudes of joy and sorrow, their love and devotion to each
other never swerved, their faith and trust in each other never
wavered; even during the last few months of increasing feeble-

ness when heart and flesh failed him, his wife had power to
soothe, and influence to control as no one else could.
Five children were born to them, two boys died in infancy and
two daughters, Mrs. Flora A. Foster of Peabody, Mass., and
Miss S. Agnes Putnam, who has always lived at home, the stay
and comfort of her parents declining years; a son, Webster F.
Putnam of Dan vers, two grand children, Marion H . and Webster
F. Putnam, Jr., and his invalid widow survive him. His brother,
Henry, who has always resided on the old homestead in Putnam-
ville, is the last surviving member of that large family circle.
Mr. Putnam had been a consistent, exemplary member of the
Maple Street Congregational Church for about thirty years He
was very regular in his attendance at church and Sunday school
until his health failed, especially at Sunday school in which he
retained his interest in a marked degree, often going an entire
year without missing a Sunday.
He was a man of strict integrity, honest almost to a fault, a
hard worker, spending few idle minutes ; apt in the use of tools,
doing many a job of carpenter work in a manner creditable to a
trained workman. When a young man, he built a large and
pretty summer house in his father's garden at the old homestead ;
and through summer heat and winter storms it stood until a short
time ago.
He possessed a fund of dry wit and humour, was something of
a mimic and generally had a good story to tell," fitted to the occa-
sion. He was fond of music, had a good bass voice, and sang in
the church choir for years. He was a lover of pets, and ex-
tremely fond of flowers ; when dealing in nursery stock it was
his delight to procure and cultivate rare plants and shrubs.
For the last two years he had been in failing health and more
especially for the last two months, his sickness was very distress-
ing in every way, but at the last the end was most peaceful.
Mrs. EUNICE L. Cram* Putnam (4281), Vol. I., p. 373,
widow of the late Thomas M. Putnam, died at her home on
Maple street, Danvers, Mass., Jan. 3, 1905, aged nearly ninety

years. She was born in Hampton Falls, N. H., Mar. 8, 1815,
daughter of Benjamin and Rebecca Fletcher (White7) Cram (4227)
p. 365, Vol. I, "Descendants of John White." She was one of
six children, a delicate child, the weak one of the flock who was
not expected to reach womanhood ; yet she was the last to go
home, outliving all of her brothers and sisters. But her health
was never good, she was not strong, though she knew how to ex-
pend her strength so well that she accomplished more than many
in good health. For the last fifteen years she was an invalid,
giving up the care of her home to her daughter, Agnes. Several
times during the years she had a long serious illness, going to
death's very door, then she would rally and be comparatively
comfortable again ; she had great recuperative powers, a strong
will and a desire to live, a daughter, Agnes, who — as her pastor
aptly expressed it was for years hands, feet, eyes and almost
breath to that mother ; she had a son, who procured for her every
comfort and many a luxury ; a doctor, who was not only a skilled
physician, but a valued friend, so she had many helps to prolong
life.
She married Sept. 17, 1843, Thomas Meady Putnam of Dan-
vers, with whom she lived nearly 54 years. Their married life
was a very happy one, trouble and sorrow came to them, sickness,
death, misfortune of various kind, but through all life's changing
scenes, their love and trust in each other was never broken, there
never was a shadow between them, perfect faith and confidence
in each other remained always theirs.
When the husband and father went home, after a short, severe
illness, it was feared that the invalid wife would not long survive
him ; but she rallied from the shock, as it did not seem possible
that she could, and lived seven years and a half without him.
Mrs. Putnam had five children, two sons died in infancy, two
daughters, Mrs. Flora A. Foster and Miss S. Agnes Putnam, a
son, Webster F. Putnam and four grandchildren, a girl and three
boys survive her. All her other near relatives have passed away.
She was a most devoted wife and mother, her husband and
children were her constant thought and care, to make home
happy and comfortable her earnest endeavor, she was most un-
selfish and self-sacrificing:.
36 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
She had a great head for planning, much executive ability,
would have made a good business man, knew how to spend
money so advantageously that she could make one dollar do the
work of two. She was very skilled with her needle, such dainty
stitches and such a rapid sewer one seldom sees. The winter the
eldest daughter was attending a commercial school in Boston,
she made her a pretty dress, a dark plum colored skirt almost
black, trimmed with a wide scarlet fold, a plum colored vest, a
little cut-away scarlet jacket braided with black, as pretty and
dainty a costume as any girl could wish. It was the girl's favor-
ite dress ; she went by the name of " Red-jacket " at the school
all that winter.
This daughter was six and a half years older than her sister, her
mother always made a companion of her, they were more like
sisters than mother and daughter. As she grew to womanhood
she had gentlemen friends and several correspondents, she always
read the letters to her mother, and her answers also, and her
mother seemed to enjoy the correspondence as much as the
daughter. If more daughters would make confidants of their
mothers fewer would go wrong, and if more mothers were like
this one, the daughters would enjoy telling their plans and inter-
est to them.
Mrs. Putnam had a firm religious faith, no matter how dark the
day, how thorny the path, she never lost trust in her Father's
love and care ; she would always see some bright spot. She was
a very helpful person in time of trouble, with a most humble es-
timate of her own merits. When for many years she was not
able to attend church, her son's prayers were one of her greatest
enjoyments ; he always came and prayed with her every Sunday
afternoon. She had a roll of Scripture text which gave her great
pleasure, a page for every day ; no matter if she knew many of
them, when the roll was worn and needed replacing she was very
particular to have one just like the old one.
Into the quiet of her life came a new joy, her son married Miss
Meldran of Manchester, Mass., and the new daughter was very
dear to her, quite as dear as her own. "A man's wife makes or
mars him." Before his marriage her son was devoted to his
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. 37
parents, a kind and loving brother, his wife was in every sense a
help and incentive to every worthy motive, every noble purpose, so
that he was more kind and thoughtful to his own people than ever
before. After a time the grandchildren came one after another,
first a little girl, then three boys, and every child was a new de-
light to grandmother.
Mrs. Putnam was always doing little kind acts, planning
little surprises that man)' would not tnink of — for instance:
The oldest daughter married a sea captain, he made several voy-
ages without her, the 17th of August, 1874, she sailed from New
York with him for Callio, South America, a long voyage around
Cape Horn. Picture to yourself a gallant bark on the wide ocean,
hundreds of miles from home, and wind and wave every minute
bearing her farther away. The young wife is busy with her sew-
ing this morning, she is happy beyond expression for she is with
her husband ; but, as she works, she is thinking of the dear ones
at home, loving them as never before, counting the weeks and
months that must pass before she can hear from them. As she
takes the last thread of cotton from the ball, she sees that the
paper on which it was wound has writing on it. How eagerly
she unfolds, devours the words, a loving message from mother.
How the glad tears come ! how the love goes out to that mother
so far away ! and how hard it is to keep from unwinding all the
cotton, and looking into the boxes of buttons and the like to find
the other little notes she is so sure are hidden there. But she
has had her li word " for today, she will wait, some other day she
will need one more. She loved all pretty dainty things, was ex-
tremely fond of flowers, when she was able to be out she always
had a pretty garden in the summer and house plants in winter ;
she had great success with her flowers, one of her daughters said,
" That if mother put a stick in the ground it would grow."
Her last sickness was a long and painful one, stricken with
paralysis the 16th of May, 1903, she lived nearly twenty months,
a patient sufferer. The shock appeared slight, but she never
spoke after it, never left her bed, only as she was moved to an-
other to rest her and change her position. She had to be fed and
tended like a baby all these weary months, but her devoted
38 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
daughter, Agnes, gave her the most faithful service, the most
tender care. She understood what was said to her until the last
few weeks of her life, would nod her head in assent, or shake in
dissent, sometimes when she was comfortable she would try to
smile on the doctor or her pastor when they called to see her,
her own sweet, sunny smile. Sometimes she seemed glad to see
the little children ; the last few weeks of her life she was so
feeble that she did not notice anything, and at the very last she
just fell asleep — the sleep that knows no awakening. She has
gone to her happy home, her home of peace and rest, her dear
ones miss her, but they cannot mourn for her after the long, hard
struggle, the battle is fought, the victory won.
GRACE O. (WHITE) DOWNING.
Mrs. Grace O. (White8) Downing (4294), Vol. I, p. 376, died in

Haverhill, Mass, Dec. 6, 1871, Charles H., son of Samuel and
Eliza D. (Whitehouse) Downing. After a few years spent in
Haverhill the family removed to Exeter, N. H., where two of the
children were born. In a few years a return to Haverhill was
made, where she resided until 1901, when she removed to Bos-
ton. Mrs. Downing became a Christian in early life and was a
member of the First Baptist Church of Haverhill. Although she
was never strong and was often completely prostrated for months,
she was devoted to her family and all their interests, and in time
of their need seemed endowed with superhuman strength and en-
durance. Although her burdens often seemed too heavy for her
to bear, yet her faith in her Heavenly Father never failed. Her
life was full of trial yet she fainted not. She was cheerful and
hopeful to the last, planning for the comfort and happiness of her
loved ones. She leaves, besides her husband, three children,
Ernest Lyman Downing of Plaistow, N. H., Dr. Dana Fletcher
Downing of West Newton, Mass , and Ethel Grace Downing of
Boston ; two brothers, Charles 11. White of Wilton, N. H., and

immediate family in mourning her loss. She lies buried beside
her oldest daughter and youngest son in the family lot in Exeter.
We have "seen a vision and have heard the song" of a beautiful
life ; the vision has vanished and the song is stilled, yet the
memory of them and of the blessed influences of that life is left
" And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,
Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the
Lord from henceforth : Yea, saith the Spirit,
that they may rest from their labours ; and
their works do follow them."

she soon passed away. She leaves a mother, step-father and
brothers and sisters, who with her husband have the sympathy
of all in their bereavement.

years, and in speaking of his condition said he wished he had
chosen a wife instead of a pipe, at the age of thirty ; and would
if he were to live his life over, as he was tired of depending upon
hired help. Mr. White was much interested in the history of
his family and gave many facts and items of interest in connec-
tion with the various branches living in his vicinity. He went to
Whitingham intending to spend a few weeks, but the end came
suddenly.

12TH LINEAGE. FLEMING.
1. Michael Flandreusis or le Fleming, is said to have come
with the Conqueror.
2. Michael le Fleming, pr. gr. son living 1126-7, when
Stephen, afterward K. Stephen, founded the Abbey of Furness,
then covering 65 acres, as it is said when the lands of Michael
le Fleming were exempted from the exactions of the Abbot of
Furness, the lands of the Abbot nearly surrounding those of
Michael. While John de Cancefield was Abbot, Fleming be-
stowed on the Abbey the estate of Fordboc, or Fordbottle.
Fleming was lord of manor of Aldingham, and when the barony
of Egremont was divided, Wm. de Meschines granted to him the
manors of Bechamet where their castle of Caernavon was, also
Frissington, Waddington, Rotingdon, Waddicker and Arlockden.
This castle of Caernavon was finally after several generations
given to a younger son, and suffered to go to decay, being aban-
doned as a residence. Michael had five sons, William, Richard,
and Daniel, a parson, rector of Church of Ursewick in 1170, and
Jordan and Anselus, who took name of De Furneys, and a daugh-
ter Goditha.
3. William le F., lord of Aldingham m. Alice, d. of Gospat-
rick of Galloway.
4. Sir Michael le F., their son, lord of Aldingham, m. Agatha

6. Alicia, lady of Aldingham, etc., m. Sir Richard Cancefield,
Knt , lord of Cancefield and Farleton, Co. Lancaster, and had
sons John and William who both died s. p., and dau. Agnes, sole
heiress. In 1154 and 1189, Alicia, then a widow, confirmed to
the Abbey of Cockersand the manor of Thurman, which manor
passed through Cancefields to the Harringtons. In a deed of
1336 there is mention of a fine levied by Sir John H. and Joanna,
his wife, on their manors of Aldingham and Thurnam, and the
moiety of Ulverston.
7. Agnes de Cancefield, sole heir at last, lady of Aldingham,
Cancefield, Thurnam and of Farleton, m., in reign of K. Ed. I,

mother, Margaret, sister to Sir Robt. Holland (and widow of
Sir John Blackburn, by whom she had three daus., one of whom
m. Sherburne of Stoneyhurst.) Some pedigrees give the wife
(perhaps a second one) of Sir John Harrington as Katherine
Sherburne, dau, of Sir Robert of Stoneyhurst. Sir John's wife
Katherine was nurse to Philippa, Queen of K. Ed. III.
10. Sir Nicholas Harrington of Farleton, m. Isabel, dau. of
Sir William English of Co. Cumberland, and had Sir William,
Sir James, Sir Nicholas and dau. Isabel or Elizabeth, who m.,

Castle m. Margaret, d. heiress of Sir Robert Neville of Hornby
Castle. Sir William was a standard bearer at Agincourt in 1415
and was severely wounded at the seige of Rouen in 1419 and d.
1450. In a window of Wrayholme Tower are the initials G. H.
(had the knots or frets of the Harringtons above and below.) of
this Wm. as is supposed the G. for Guilielmus. Sir William and
wife Margaret gave a bell to Urswick Church (within the manor
of Aldingham) inscribed with their names. Margaret (Neville)
Harrington became co-heiress of the only surviving child of her
brother Thos. Neville of Hornby Castle, who bore the same
name, Margaret Neville, and m. Thomas Beaufort, Duke of Exe-

11. Sir James Harrington, 2d son of Sir Nicholas (10) and
Isabel English inherited the martial spirit of his ancestors and
had his full share of war and military service. In 1403, he shared
in the dearly bought victory of Hately Field, which settled the
usurper Henry firmly on the throne and where Falstaff, as he
declared, "fought an hour by Shrewsbury clock" when the im-
petuous Hotspur fell, pierced through the brain with an arrow,
the panic stricken Welsh fled to their fastnesses in the mountains.
In the retreat the Earl of Douglas, who had led the Scottish con-
tingent, fell from a cliff, when he was captured by Sir James
Harrington ; a service for which he received from King Henry IV
a pension of 100 marks per annum. He had joined the army
which fought at Agincourt, but was recalled by the King, who
sent him to defend the northern frontier against the Scots.
When not engaged in a military career he appears to have taken

siderably augmented, when after the death of her grandmother,
dau. and heiress of John de Verdon, Knt., in 1437, she succeeded
as remainder after her uncles of the half-blood John, Edmund
and Robert de Pilkington to the manors of Brixworth, Co.
Northampton and Brissingham in Norfolk. Sir Richard must

NOTES ON THE ABOVE LINEAGES.
" Hornby Castle, centuries ago, had attracted the eye of the
Roman soldier, and coins and tessellated pavements discovered
in various alterations of the castle prove that the value of its site
strategic position was fully recognized even then. At Domes-
day Surrey Hornby was classed with Mailing, Wennigetun as
one manor, in which Ulf held nine carucates of land, and when
the Conqueror came was held by Aleric whose gr. son Adam, son
of Swain, had two daughters, Maud and Annabel. Maud m. Adam
de Montbegon and the land of Hornby descended to Roger de
Montbegon, his grandson who died 1225. In 1226, passed to a
collateral relative, Henry de Montbegon, who in 1226 conveyed
the manor of Hornby and castle to Hubert de Burgh, Chief Jus-
tice of England, and the Chamberlain of Shakespear's K.
John. He d. 1242, and his widow, Margaret, married in York
Cathedral, and a Scottish princess, Countess of Kent, continued
in its possession till she died 1259. Then another claimant
appeared in the person of Elena de Longuevilliers, who said her
husband, John de L. had been entitled to the estate, and she as
his widow to one-third part as her dower, and at last her claim
was successful, and toward the close of the reign of K. 11. II
Hornby passed with Margaret, dau. of Sir John de Longuevilliers,
to Geoffrey de Neville." (See Vol. 41, Historic Soc. Lancaster
and Cheshire.)
" Raby Castle owes its splendor to John de Neville who, in 1379,
obtained leave to make a castle of his manor of Raby, and to em-

battle it and castellate its towers. It is in Co. Durham about six
miles from Barnard Castle on the east side of an extensive park.
It has a very imposing effect and a striking idea of the magnifi-
cence of feudal ages may be formed from its extent, its grandeur
and well preserved state ; its foundation is a rocky eminence, and
it is environed by an embrazured wall and parapet, enclosing
about two acres. It is said to date even as far back as Canute.
The entrance hall is uncommonly grand, its vastness never failing
to strike the beholder with admiration. The roof is arched and
supported on six pillars with capitals. Here visitors leave their
carriages, which are admitted to the hall, and pass out on the
opposite side through the inner area and covered way. At one
end is a flight of steps leading to the presence chamber, music
room and billiard rooms ; and over the hall is another spacious
apartment, ninety feet in length, thirty-six in height and thirty-
four in width. This was the room where the ancient baronial
festivals were celebrated, and seven hundred knights who held of
the Nevilles, are recorded to have been entertained here at one
time. The walls are very thick, and the oven of the castle was
converted into a wine cellar, the sides being divided into ten
parts, each holding a hogshead of wine in bottles. The park,
pleasure grounds and plantation correspond to the extent and
dignity of the castle, one of its terraces being upwards of 2250
feet, nearly half a mile long. This seat continued to be the
grand residence of the Nevilles, till the reign of Q. Eliz. Charles
Neville, sixth and last earl of Westmoreland, engaged in a weak
conspiracy to dethrone the Queen, and his immense estates,
about 1584, reverted to the Crown." (N. E. H. G. Register,
Vol. II.)
Sir Robert Harrington, oldest son of Sir John (8) 12th lineage
m. Isabel, d. of Sir Nigell Loring, one of the original Knights of
the Garter, and had a son John H., died s. p. Feb. 11, 1415,
seized of Aldingham and the Advowson of Church of Aldingham,
which he held by certain services to the Abbot and Convent of
Furness Abbey, which right to these services had been stoutly
denied and long contested by the Flemings, and which it had
cost the Abbot ^15U0 to enforce, they long having been tenants
of the Kin":, and not the Abbot.

" On the western borders of rocky Cumberlands, where the
salt breezes sweep with invigorating freshness from across the
tumbling waves, and the sandstone cliffs are washed by the rest-
less sea, is the quaint little fishing village or port of Harrington
or Haverington, as written in earlier times. It is situated mid-
way between Workington and Whitehaven and in sight of the
lofty head-lands that run far out into the deep, and under the
shadow of which, more than twelve centuries ago, the saintly
Beza and her sisterhood established their little oratory. Long
before the reign of K. Ed. I, it had given name to a sturdy race
of warriors, who through several generations played their parts
in the most important affairs of the nation as well as the county,
and bore themselves bravely on many a well fought field. These
Harringtons of Harrington, Co. Cumberland and of the manors
of Aldingham, Gleaston Castle, Wrayholme Tower, Hornby
Castle, Farleton, Arnside, Witherslack and other places in Lan-
cashire, were allied with the most powerful houses in the land,
and yet there was but one Lord Harrington of the stock."

WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. 81
1604, his baptism is not recorded, there being a break in the
records from 1602 to 1610, but we find his name in his father's
will in 1608. He m. in Halifax Parish, Apr. 11, 1629, Mary
Gawkroger or Platts. They lived for a time in Sowerby, where
five of their children were born, three of whom were brought to
America, two buried at Sowerby. In 1638, he was living in the
Island of Barbadoes, owning more than ten acres of land on the
Island as proved by an old record recently found upon the Island.
In 1640, he came to New England, settled for a time in Water-
town, where he had large grants of land alotted to him. In 1643
he associated himself with Thomas King and others, for the pur-
pose of purchasing of Sholan, the Indian Sachem of the Nasha-
way tribe of Indians, a tract of land for a township, which was to
be ten miles long and eight in breadth, known as the " Nashaway
plantation," afterwards, Lancaster, Mass., one of the original set-
tlers and considered the founder. The town received its name
May 18, 1633, the name it is said being given in honor of Mr.
Prescott, it being the name of his native county in England.
Mary, wife of John Prescott, appears to have been the dau. of
James and Martha (Ainsworth) Gawkroger, m. Sept. 5, 1601, his
will written 1625, a clothier of Sowerby, she was bapt. Mar. 15,
1606-7, and granddaughter of James and Jenet (Fairbank) Gawk-
roger or Platts, m. Dec. 2, 1571. The children of John and Mary
bear the names of the children found in James Gawkroger Jr.'s
will in many instances, as Martha, Sarah, Anne or Hannah and
Lydia, the children, grand and great grandchildren of John Pres-
cott will be given in the October Quarterly as far as the records
can be obtained, with full dates.

Mrs. DOROTHY S. (Kimball7) Bailey (15121), Vol. II, p. 491.
died at her home in Fitchburg, Mass., Mar. 3, 1905. Mrs. Bailey
was born in Fitchburg, Aug. 3, 1817, daughter of Ephraim and
Dorothy (Sawyer6) Kimball and granddaughter of Phineas Jr.,
and Mary (Prescott5) Sawyer (712). She was married June 4,
88 WHITE FAMILY QUARXERLY.
1846, Ebenezer Foster, son of Ebenezer and Lucy (Goldsmith)
Bailey, born in Westmoreland, N. H., Feb. 19, 1820. Mrs.
Bailey was from early life a devoted Christian, a very efficient
worker in the church and Sunday school, and for many years as-
sisted in the service of song, she was active in the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union and ready for every good word and
work. Although Mr. and Mrs. Bailey were married nearly 59
years, death had never before broken the family circle, she is
survived by her husband, and by four children, Ebenezer, Harri-
son, William Kimball Bailey and Miss Anna M. Bailey and a
large circle of friends.
Mrs. OLIVE Elizabeth (Childs9) Edwards (29) p. 55, Vol. I,
No. 2, " Wrhite Family Quarterly," died at her home in Holyoke,
Mass., Feb. 27, 1905. Mrs. Edwards was born in New Brain-
tree, Mass., Dec. 1, 1872; daughter of Henry Hinckley and
Martha A. (Howe8) Childs, being the third in their family of
eleven children and the first death in their family. She was mar-
ried in Holyoke, June 13, 1895, to Charles Samuel, son of
Samuel Finley and Adeline Fidelia (Gridley) Edwards, born in
Southampton, Mass., Oct. 22, 1872. For a few years after their
marriage they lived in Springfield, Mass., where they united with
Christ Church and have since retained their membership, Mrs.
Edwards was an active member and a former officer of the Rath-
bone Sisters. She was a devoted wife and mother, a sweet
Christian woman in every way, always of a sunny temperament,
even after she had become a great sufferer. She is survived by
her husband and three little children, Elizabeth Adeline, Roger
Gerhart and Kingsley Edwards, also her father and mother,
brothers and sisters, Mrs. B. V. Brooks of Greenwich Village,
George E. of Wilbraham, Charles H. of New Haven, (Conn.),
Willard T. of Petersham, Mrs. Harry Brainard of South Hadley
Falls, and Robert, Fred, Arthur, Esther and Herman Childs with
their mother in Holyoke, her father, who for a number of years
conducted a successful business college in Holyoke is now in the
West. Though we sympathize with all her friends in their be-
reavement, yet our heart goes out to little Kingsley, who will
never have even a memory of his loving mother to cherish, only
as he receives it from the words of others.

REPORT OF THE TENTH REUNION, 1905.
Whalom Park, Fitchburg, Mass., Aug. 30, 1905 ; the tenth an-
nual reunion of the "Association of the Descendants of John
White of Wenham and Lancaster," was called to order in the
pavilion at 10 45 a. m., with the President, John B. White of
Kansas City, in the chair. The President in his opening remarks,
made tender allusions to the missing ones whose faces had been
so familiar in the reunions of the past, and of the grand reunion
that shall by and by be held on the other side.
Prayer was offered by Vice President, John F. White of Som-
erville, Mass. The records of the last meeting of 1904 were read
by the Assistant Secretary and approved as read.
George A. White, Treasurer of the Association, presented the
following report :

Report accepted. Treasurer White called the attention of the
Association to the fact that many whose names are on the mem-
bership roll are behind with the annual dues, and urged that some
action should be taken, looking to a time limit when such names
should be stricken from the roll. He suggested that a better
system of bookkeeping should be adopted, and recommended a
Card Index system. No motion was made, consequently no
action on these suggestions
President White took the floor and in a strong earnest speech
deplored the lack of interest on the part of many, in fact a large
portion of the Association. He called attention to the fact that
about 3,000 circulars had been sent out by the Secretary in call-
ing this meeting, and that less than two hundred people had re-
sponded. He urged that more attention should be given to the
vital points of the life of the Association ; that more personal
work should be done by the individual members ; that methods
should be adopted that would enthuse the thousands who belong
to the family ; that not only our annual reunion should be better
attended, but that there should be a larger and wide-spread inter-
est in the magnificent Genealogical work that had been given to
the family and to the world as the result of Miss Myra L. White's
years of patient and persistent labor. George A. White of
Franklin Park, Mass., moved that a committee of ten be appointed
to arouse such enthusiasm before the next annual gathering.
The motion was carried by a unanimous vote. The chair ap-
pointed as that Committee :
George A. White, Franklin Park, Mass.
Mrs. E. M. Wilder, Leominster, Mass.
Miss Fannie P. Gates, Leominster, Mass.
John H. Leavitt, Waterloo, Iowa.
Miss Edith L. Harrington, Westminster, Mass.

Miss Ethel L. Wilder, Clinton, Mass.
Mrs. Flora G. Macomber, Worcester, Mass.
Joseph H. White, Antwerp, N. Y.
Byron A. White, Parkersburg, W. Va.
John F. White, Somerville, Mass.
Opportunity was given for the collection of dues to which many
responded .
At 1 1.45 recess was taken until 1.30 p.m. for dinner. At 2 p.m.
the Association was called to order by the President who an-
nounced that the first order of business for the afternoon would
be the reading of the " Historical Sketch " that was authorized by
the meeting of 1904, Josiatis Ten Sons. John F. White of Som-
erville, Mass., came forward and for thirty minutes was given
the kindest attention by the audience present, while he read the
paper prepared for the occasion which he had named, " The Old
Abbey and Its First Occupant," which included Josiah's five
daughters with the ten sons. A vote of thanks was tendered
Mr. White after the reading. Moved and seconded the sketch
be printed in the Quarterly. The President declared the motion
carried. Mr. J. F. White suggested that such a vote was prob-
ably subject to the condition that the Editor of the Quarterly
could connect with the manuscript .
The Committee on Memorial to be placed in the old cemetery
at Lancaster reported as follows :
To the officers and members of the Association of the Descendants
of John White of Wenham and Lancaster :
Your Committee, appointed to ascertain the style, costs, etc.
of a suitable Memorial to be placed in the old Cemetery at Lan-
caster, beg leave to make the following report. Your Committee
after careful consideration, decided that a boulder of black or
dark Granite, with a Bronze Tablet containing the inscription,
set in the side, would be a suitable memorial. And that it might
have form and comeliness, it seems advisable to make the dimen-
sions 4 ft. 7 in. high, 3 ft. 4 in. wide and 1 ft. 3 in. thick, with
bronze tablet 1 ft. 8 in. by 2 ft. 4 in. The specifications given to
the various firms who have furnished estimates, included the
above as to the stone with the bronze tablet securely set, said
100 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY.
tablet to bear inscription of about 164 letters and figures, the
whole complete set in the Old Cemetery at Lancaster, on a suit-
able foundation laid in cement (Portland cement preferred). On
these specifications we have the following estimates :
Chas. E. Chase, Agent, $180.00.
Taynter Construction Co., $175.00.
Milne & Chalmers, $155.00.
W. D. Blanchard, $110.00.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
John F. White,
Geo. A. White,
Myra L. White,
Chas. S. Houghton,
Committee.
George A. White urged that the father of such a family ought
to have a monument and that the family was large enough to get
him one, and suggested that a Committee be appointed and
$150.00 be raised to cover the cost of such a monument. It was
moved that the Committee on Memorial be made permanent.
Motion carried. It was moved that $150.00 be raised for the pur-
pose of a Memorial. Carried.
The President said that no time was so good for the purpose as
now and that he would head the subscription with one tenth of
the amount. Subscriptions were immediately taken and $59.00
realized of which sum $37.50 was paid
In the question of whether the Quarterly should be continued,
Miss Myra L. White stated : that under the present conditions
the Quarterly only paid about one-half the cost of the printing,
and that for her own work, it was entirely without remuneration,
that it had been necessary for her to do work outside of the
White Family work, to pay her own living expenses. That it
rested with the Association whether they would have the Quar-
terly continued or not.
The reason for the delay of the second and third numbers this
year was that her whole, energy had been given to finish the
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY. 101
third volume of the Genealogy, but that work is done. Now the
question is, Do yoti want the Quai terly ? The remarks were ably-
seconded by the President and George A. White. No action was
taken.
The next order of business was the election of officers. Presi-
dent White stated that he was not a candidate for re-election.
That he appreciated the honor of holding the office for five years,
and asked the privilege of nominating his successor. He then
placed in nomination for the office of President for the ensuing
year, John F. White of Somerville, and the Association ratified
the nomination by a unanimous vote. Mr. J. F. White thanked
the Association for their kindly confidence, and stated that he
could not accept the honor they would confer. Many words by
many speakers were used bearing upon the question, and the
final result was that Mr. John B. White, of Kansas City, con-
sented to accept the office for another year followed by the
hearty applause of all present. On motion the entire board of
officers of last year was re-elected, as follows :
President — John B. White, Kansas City, Mo.
Vice Pres — George S. Houghton, Reading, Mass.
Vice Pres. — Joseph H. White, Antwerp, N. Y.
Vice Pres. — Lucius A. Warner, Beacon Falls Ct.
Vice Pres. — Hon. John W. Kimball, Fitchburg, Mass.

Vice Pres. — Charles H. White, Grandin, Mo.
Vice Pres — Milo S. Harrington, Westminster, Mass.
Treasurer — George A. White, Franklin Park, Mass.
Secretary — Miss Myra L. White, Haverhill, Mass.
Motion was made and seconded that the third Wednesday of
August be the permanent day for the reunion in the future.
Carried.

LAYING OF THE CORNER STONE OF THE
DR. JOHN F. WHITE MEMORIAL SCHOOL.
Youngsville, Pa., Oct. 11.— Tuesday, October 10, 1905, will
long be remembered by the citizens of this town as a gala day
and one that bore great good to the community. It was the day
set for the laying of the corner stone of the J. B. White memorial
school, erected in memory of Dr. J. F. White, son of the donor.
For weeks past the matter has been one of discussion and the
committee in charge have worked hard for the success of the
event. Not an untoward event occurred to mar the exercises and
the perfect weather, the warm air and the cloudless skies drew
forth an immense crowd to participate.
The school children, who will enjoy the gift, turned out in
goodly numbers and marched to the site of the new school build-
ing in perfect alignement. The many children marching with
sprightly step called forth many remarks and in their simple,
pretty way contributed much to the joyousness of the day. At
the site of the new building space had been reserved for them
and they filed into their place. The McKinnery cornet band fur-
nished music and a children's chorus, given in the round, full
148 WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY
tones of youthful singers, echoed and re-echoed in the hearts of
the hearers long after t>e strains had died away.
The meeting of the citizens was called to order by Dr. C. H.
Jacobs, of the Youngsville school board, and in a few well chosen
words he called attention to the splendid gift and to the place
that its donor held in the hearts of the people of the community.
Music was then given by the band and a superb chorus was ren-
dered by the school children.
The following articles were then placed in the box : " History
of Dr. John Franklin White," in whose memory the school is be-
ing built, and his photograph ; copy of the Youngsville paper
containing an account of his death ; letters written by Dr White
while in school and also shortly before his death ; copy of exer-
cises of " yesterday " and list of names of borough officers and
members of the band; coin of 1905; memorial letter by Mrs.
Hemingway in memory of her brother: names of the architects
and builders.
Rev. Mr. Burns, of the Youngsville Methodist Episcopal
church, then gave the address of the day, and in his splendid
way spoke of the good that such a gift can do to the people of a
town and of the influence that it will undoubtedly have upon the
men and women of the future, the children of today. He also
feelingly and touchingly referred to the young man in whose
memory the noble pile is to be erected. Of his sturdy manhood
and of the grief of his father at his death and of the desire to
fittingly perpetuate his memory. The address was splendidly
arranged and excellently given and from the hearts of the audi-
ence there went forth a silent yet eloquent "Amen" to the
speaker's words.
Hon. J. B. White, the donor of the building, who had travelled
all the way from Kansas City to be present at the exercises was
then welcomed and gave a short but eminently fitting address.
During his discourse he read a number of letters from persons in-
terested in the welfare of Youngsville and her schools. Among
them a memorial letter written by Emma Ruth White, and a let-
ter from the President of Williams College, Williamstown, Mass.,
a close friend of Mr. White and his family. The President re-
gretted his inability to be present and announced his intention of
Dr. John^Franklin \\ hite
WHITE FAMILY QUARTERLY 149
being present at the dedication. Mr. White, in his address,
made mention of the fact that no credit or honor should be at-
tached to himself as the result of his building the school, but
that he did it simply because he wished to perpetuate good
through the memory of his son, rather than erecting a marble
shaft in the cemetery.
It was a memorable day and the young people who witnessed
it are now waiting most patiently for the new building to be com-
pleted.
The building is to be a fine one of brick and stone and will be
erected at a cost of about $18,000 and will be finished with all
the modern and up-to-date improvements. It occupies a com-
manding position near the center of the town and will be an im-
provement that will be at once permanent and beautiful. The
plans have been carefully drawn with attention to the lighting
and ventilation and the pupils of Youngsville will have a struc-
ture second to none in the country when all is completed.
The new building is to bear the name of " Dr. John F. White
Memorial School." Mr. White has many friends in Youngsville,
it being his old home.^ The programme was concluded by a selec-
tion by the band, the placing of the corner stone, a song by the
school "The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground," and the
benediction by Rev. J. P. Burns.
DOCTOR WHITE.
John Franklin, son of John Barber and Arabel (Bowen) White
was born in Tidioute, Pa., Nov. 9,1875 and the following year moved

Dr. White was appointed local surgeon for the " Kansas City,

death.
On the morning of May 11, 1900, he was sitting on the steps
of his office talking with a friend, with his gun across his knee,
it slipped and the hammer, striking on the step, one barrel of the
gun was discharged, wounding him in the breast and face. For
a time it was thought that his wounds were doing well and he
would soon regain his health ; but blood poisoning developing he
d. at the St. Joseph's hospital, Kansas City, Mo., June 11, 1900.
He was a young man of pure habits and most conscientious
principles and was beloved by all, both in a professional and bus-
iness way, winning many friends wherever he was known, and
seemed to be destined for a useful life. He was laid at rest in
the family lot at Youngsville.
